As we enter a new year, it's time to examine what we're carrying forward and what needs to be left behind. One of the heaviest burdens many Christians carry is unforgiveness. Jesus placed forgiveness at the heart of discipleship, teaching us that if we don't forgive others, our Father will not forgive us. This isn't easy to accept, but it's central to living as a new creation in Christ. We don't forgive to earn God's forgiveness - we forgive because we have already been forgiven. Radical forgiveness only seems radical when we forget the magnitude of what we've been forgiven for. This week, challenge yourself to extend forgiveness where it's not due and ask who you haven't forgiven.
