How can I possibly forgive someone who has hurt me deeply? We know God calls us to forgive, but some hurts feel too great to let go.
In this message, Pastor Gerber explores Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant and the enormous debt the master forgives. We often compare our sins with others and underestimate how much forgiveness we need. But Jesus gave His life to forgive a debt we could never repay.
Forgiveness doesn’t mean pretending the hurt wasn’t real or that trust must immediately be restored. It means living in the freedom Christ has already given us. As we recognize how fully we’ve been forgiven, His mercy changes how we see the debts others owe us.
As God forgives me, I forgive others. Is there someone you need to forgive?
