"The Way of Forgiveness and Reconciliation".mp4

Scriptures: Matthew 6:9-15 and Matthew 18:21-35

In the course of any human relationship, someone is bound to hurt someone else. It is just the way of things. Sometimes that hurt is inflicted deliberately, other times it may be inadvertent or even done unawares. The practices of forgiveness and reconciliation seek to rebind the relationships that have become strained or unwound through injury or hurt. Forgiveness, as another mode of healing, was also at the center of the spirituality that Jesus exemplified. Forgiveness and reconciliation are forms of healing and restoration to wholeness that work at the psychological and emotional level of human relationships. But most importantly, the work of forgiveness springs from the very character and nature of God.
