When someone wrongs us, we face a choice between vengeance and forgiveness. While the world encourages getting even, Christian faith demands forgiveness—with no exceptions. This forgiveness is rooted in two essential principles: we forgive because God has forgiven us, and we trust God with justice rather than seeking vengeance ourselves. Sin causes God pain, yet He forgives us. The communion service reminds us of this profound truth—as we receive God's forgiveness symbolized in the bread and cup, we must extend that same forgiveness to others who have hurt us.
