No ProblemSample

As a kid, did you ever have snacks around the house you couldn't resist eating? Maybe the cookies? Chips? Cupcakes? Whatever it is, there were probably restrictions around them and big consequences if the rules were broken. How would you feel if a sibling were to lie and say you took a cookie when they stole that cookie?
Jesus was accused of something he didn't do, and it wasn't sneaking a late-night snack. The rulers accused Jesus of being a fraud. They wanted him crucified for his claims about being the Son of God (among other religious reasons). Despite being amidst criminals who committed actual crimes, Jesus didn't shift the blame to someone else. Instead, he knew the odds were stacked against him. To many people's surprise, one of those criminals spoke up and held people accountable for mocking an innocent man. When this man saw something unjust happening, he couldn't keep quiet — even being moments away from his last breath.
What would it look for you to speak up against injustice?

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.
