Forgiveness isn’t a new topic, and honestly, it is pretty cut and dry. However, that doesn’t make it easy, and “cut and dry” can look messy and frayed. 

Especially when we are trying to take it seriously. 

So what do we do when someone keeps on sinning against us? Or when we don’t want to forgive? Or when we don’t know where to start? Or when it forces us to confront the part we played in the conflict?

Jesus didn’t answer every question about forgiveness but He was very clear on the fact that we should forgive. Like in Luke 17. 

So today we tackle some of the hardest verses in the Bible. Sound like fun? We promise there is some light for all of us in this episode!
