Too many believers are walking through life weighed down by unforgiveness. Every grudge we hold adds weight to our daily life and relationships. We fool ourselves into thinking we are punishing the offender when we are actually carrying the pain ourselves!
Radical Forgiveness
Jesus is fully aware of the wickedness of the people around Him. They had just beaten Him until blood was pouring down His face. His back was deeply cut and bleeding after a whipping, bruises covered His body, and His beard had been ripped from his skin. Make no mistake, Jesus knew these people well. So, his plea for forgiveness is mind blowing! What motivates such radical forgiveness?
