Forgiveness. Our culture doesn’t talk much about forgiveness, preferring tolerance, or condemnation (not necessarily bad things) instead. But Jesus asks us to forgive as we have been forgiven. Real forgiveness is deeper and richer and stronger and more lofty than we often understand. And it is the hallmark of Jesus’ kingdom - because it is on the path of forgiveness that we find freedom - not just for ourselves but the whole creation. But forgiveness is rarely easy. So let’s remind ourselves again about the power of God’s forgiveness, and commit to being the people we are - forgiveness people.
