Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.” Put simply, as we seek to cultivate a life with God where love will grow, forgiveness has the potential to be either a springboard or a hindrance for us. Yet, it is more often talked about than understood. We all know it is a good idea to forgive others, but what does that really mean? And how do we do it? In this sermon, we learn about Jesus’ view on forgiveness and some very practical steps we can take to live it out.
