Because He First Forgave Us
Why does Jesus ask us to forgive? It's a fair question — and the answer is more convicting than comfortable. In Part 2 of the Forgiveness Series we get honest about the Jonah moment — that place where you don't want grace to be available to the person who hurt you. We explore the difference between reading the Bible with a Disney mindset versus an honest one, what Matthew 18 really says about forgiveness, and the difference between guilt and God's conviction. Because guilt keeps you ashamed and stuck. God's conviction points you toward hope. And that difference changes everything.
