Forgiveness is an easy thing to talk about but much harder to do when it’s time to actually do it. We all know we should forgive—it’s in the Bible, it’s all over sermons, and we’ve heard it from loved ones a thousand times. But let’s be real: when someone’s hurt us deeply, forgiveness can feel out of reach. A quick punch to the throat feels much better (of course, that may be just me).
But in my sanctified imagination, I’ve often wondered what would have happened if certain people in the Bible had chosen NOT to forgive. What if they let bitterness, anger, or guilt shape their futures? The truth is, if they hadn’t forgiven, the course of history would have looked very different, and the lessons we might have learned from their stories would have been lost. So, remember those stories we looked at last week? Let’s take a fresh look at them, but this time, through the lens of unforgiveness.
