RHYTHM | RELEASE (LK. 6:27-36)

Speaker: Pastor Tristan Sherwin

'Enemy love and forgiveness are an aggressive act of pitting good against evil...

Jesus said a lot about forgiveness, and he also made a “nasty” habit of it.

I say “nasty” only because, out of all the controversial things Jesus ever did, Jesus’ habit of forgiveness was at the top of the list.

To be fair, it still is.

The idea of forgiveness is something we wrestle with. Whether it’s the suggestion that we were in need of forgiveness, or our own personal struggle of accepting forgiveness, or how unjust it seems that God should even extend forgiveness to “them” (whoever “them” are), forgiveness always bristles, as the Cross of Jesus does, with either a sense of foolishness or of pure scandal.'
