Mercy Me - Part 1
What is Forgiveness?
Mercy Me - Pt. 1 - Forgiveness is surprisingly misunderstood. Do I need to forget someone’s wrong in order to forgive them? Is it possible to forgive them if they haven’t repented? Should victims of abuse or other crimes forgive the perpetrators, and if so, doesn’t this keep justice from happening? This parable shows us the essence of true forgiveness: It involves confronting the wrong, absorbing the pain, and setting the person free.

If we are the Temple where redemption happens, what is our plan to draw people to Him? The answer is to relearn an ancient, almost forgotten practice: Hospitality. In a time when loneliness is an epidemic, when few people know their neighbors, something as simple as a meal together can be the starting place for something beautiful to happen.
When our bond with God was severed by our sin, He didn’t give up on us. He made a second Eden, a place for us to meet with Him and be redeemed. That place was the Temple, and the events that happened there teach us about a God who is mighty to save, the cost of our sin, and His plans for us.
