How is it possible to Forgive?

Matthew 6:9-15

Luke 23:32-33
Here we have creation mocking the creator…
and watch what Jesus does…..
Luke 23:34

When people hurt you….
2 things to do that will forever change you:

1. PRAY FOR THEM

Luke 6:28
Matthew 5:43-44

Having a right heart comes before doing the right thing.
Pray that they’ll experience the same Grace that you’ve experienced!

Praying for others may or may not change them…
but it will always change you!

2. FORGIVE THEM

Colossians 3:13

Because we have so much that we’ve been forgiven of…
we should never be judgmental towards anyone.

Choosing to forgive will never change your past…
but it will change your future!

John 8:1-11
(DROP YOUR WEAPONS)

Here’s the BIG IDEA…
The greatest gift you can give someone is forgiveness…
because the greatest gift that was ever given to you…
is Grace!

But you’ll never be able to receive Grace…
until you are first able to give it!
