No ProblemSample

Can we talk about apologies? And how awkward they are? It's awkward to say you're sorry and awkward to hear it too. But the Bible talks a lot about how important it is to apologize. There are countless passages of Scripture advising us to "confess" when we've messed up or "sinned" — but not because an apology is a task we have to complete to be forgiven. An apology is a gift we can give out of love for the person we hurt. But an apology by itself doesn't fix everything. There's a guy named Zacchaeus in the Bible who learned this. He was a tax collector who stole a lot of money from people in need, but when he met Jesus, all that changed. Jesus' love for him inspired him to make his wrongs right by giving it all back to the people he hurt and then some. So like Zacchaeus, when you need forgiveness, don't just apologize. Take a step further and make a change.

About this Plan

Apologies — they’re hard to give, but they’re sometimes hard to receive, too. When you’re the one who has hurt someone else, saying you’re sorry (and actually meaning it) takes work and practice. But when you’re the one who’s been hurt by someone else, things get even more complicated. In this 20-day devotional series from Grow Curriculum, we'll unpack apologies and forgiveness.
