Description
What does the forgiveness of Christ mean for us? Interim Chaplain Dr. Dave McDowell turns to the parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18 to see what Jesus had to say about forgiveness. Drawing three observations ((1) forgiveness is not earned: it is given, (2)forgiveness is an obligation that flows from God in Christ, and (3) forgiveness is the costly, uncompromising evidence of our discipleship), Chaplin Mac shows how the Gospel—the story of the most incredible act of forgiveness in history—cuts to the heart of the our broken relationships. Our forgiveness of others is rooted in Christ's forgiveness of us.
