Forgiveness always seems to be a hot-button issue among Christians. Preach a sermon about forgiving those who have wronged you (Ephesians 4:32) and BAM! Comments abound.
You share your stories of pain and suffering at another’s hand. You explain why you struggle with forgiveness, and ask why this commandment is so hard to follow. I empathize with your pain; I've been wronged too.
Yet, God’s commandment stands firm.
“Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).
Our reluctance to forgive may actually stem for our misconceptions about the issue. It’s time to eliminate these myths and experience the healing picture of forgiveness as we are called to in Scripture.
