People Of Forgiveness

from ResLife Access · host ResLife Access

When we look to Christ on the cross we see that Christ was the type of person who when cursed, wounded, reviled, disregarded, mocked, and ultimately killed, was the type of person who naturally and freely forgave and blessed. Was this just because He was a sort of superhero on the cross? No, we see the same movement in Stephen when he is martyred for the faith, and the same in the martyrs and exemplars of the faith that follow through church history. So what does it look like to be formed into the type of person that would naturally and freely forgive under every circumstance? Pastor Nick offers two virtues that undergird the kind of life that would follow Christ in this manner, and two spiritual practices to do with the aid of the Holy Spirit to begin to develop those virtues.
