People do terrible things to each other in this world, and forgiveness seems impossible. But not to Jesus. Listen in as we consider how greatly we’ve been forgiven in Him, so that we can now offer great forgiveness to others. // 1. Go watch the video "The Riches of His Grace: Ike Brown's Story" on Vimeo. How was what happened to Ike’s son “unforgiveable?” How was he still able to forgive his son’s murderer? Does this show that forgiveness is a feeling or a choice? // 2. Read the following verses. Talk about how our ability to forgive others flows from how God has forgiven us in Jesus: Psalm 103:10-12, Luke 23:34, Ephesians 4:32, 1 John 1:9 // 3. If we only forgive when we feel like it, how will that limit our forgiveness? Can we say we forgive someone, but not really forgive them? // 4. In Matthew 18:35, it says that God will do to us what the King does to his servant if we don’t forgive “from the heart.” Does this mean if we don’t forgive someone, we’re going to hell? Or is there a difference between a moment of unforgiveness verses an attitude of unforgiveness? What does an attitude of unforgiveness reveal about our hearts that God will hold us accountable for?
