In this sermon on forgiveness, we explore the challenging yet transformative power of letting go of resentment and embracing grace. Drawing from Luke 17:3-10, we delve into Jesus' teachings on forgiveness and the disciples' startled response, "Increase our faith!"
The sermon highlights three key steps to forgiveness:
- Identify with the wrongdoer instead of focusing on differences
- Inwardly surrender the right to repayment and absorb the debt yourself
- Actively want good for the person who wronged you
We learn that forgiveness is not about excusing the wrong, but acknowledging it and choosing to release the debt. It's a process that may take time, but leads to personal freedom and spiritual growth.
