We all have hurts and wounds that break us apart that were inflicted by someone else. Even though some people have deeper wounds than others, we’re all told the same thing: forgiveness isn’t for the other person but for us. What does that mean exactly? What good does it do for the forgiver to forgive? Is this even Biblical? Join Reverend Kenny Yates as he dives deeper into the trap of unforgiveness in his powerful message, Unforgiveness Pt. 2: The Joy of Forgiveness.
Unforgiveness
The Joy of Forgiveness
12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, 13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.
Colossians 3:12-17
25 And whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone, so that your Father also who is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Mark 11:25
