Forgiveness is not…
- Understanding
- Forgetting
- Avoidance
- Acceptance
- Getting away with it
Forgiveness COMPLEMENTS justice; it does not REPLACE it.
Forgiveness will cost us…
- Our RESENTMENT
- The right to the CONSEQUENCES of our forgiveness.
- Our sense of JUSTICE.
Two burdens of Forgiveness:
- The HURT stays with us.
- The INJUSTICE stays with us.
II Corinthians 2:5-8
