Remember No More

How do we learn the art of forgiveness? What obstacles lie in our way? How can our faith inform the path to reconciliation?

Scripture: Jeremiah 31.31-34

(Additional Reading: John 21.9-25; Luke 18.1-8; Matthew 6.12, 14-15; John 20.19-23; Matthew 18.18; Luke 7.47)

active forgiveness

what that doesn’t mean

what that does mean

you are God’s power

“In the same way I could say of a certain man, ‘have I forgiven him for what he did that day? I’ve forgiven him more times than I can count.’ For we find that the work of forgiveness has to be done over and over again. We forgive, we mortify our resentment; a week later some chain of thought carries us back to the original offense and we discover the old resentment blazing way as if nothing had been done about it at all. We need to forgive our brother seventy times seven not only for 490 offenses but for one offense." (Clive Staples Lewis)
