The Open Door of Forgiveness

Dr. Daniel's sermon on Sunday: "The Open Door of Forgiveness. Very challenging! To err is human; to forgive is divine. Jesus taught, as recorded in Matthew, the importance of forgiving one another. 1. It's an experience -- we've received from God over and over and over again! The Bible says we all have a problem called sin. And in the world it's even glorified. God invented the remedy: for

giveness. Jesus demonstrated it with His first words while on the cross: "Father, forgive them..." It's uneared, undeserved, unconditional grace. 2. It's an expression -- we must forgive others even as Christ has forgiven us. The best gift that could be given to another. Forgiveness doesn't change the past, but it enlarges the future and sets us free. Thank you, Dr. Daniel, for your boldness and clarity in presenting God's message to us!
