Practicing Forgiveness

Forgiveness is one of the hardest commands Jesus gives us—but it’s also one of the clearest marks of a disciple. In the parable of the unforgiving servant, Jesus reminds us that we have been forgiven an unpayable debt. The way of Jesus is not about keeping score but keeping grace flowing. When we truly grasp how much God has forgiven us, we can begin to forgive others from the heart. Forgiveness doesn’t erase the hurt, but it releases the hold it has on us. Forgiven people must be forgiving people—because with God, even forgiveness is possible.
