Derek Turner - Like a Child - The Story of the Unforgiving Servant

River Church Charlotte Podcast

One of our modern-day prophets, Don Henley, profoundly sang the lyrics, “I think it's about forgiveness." And I think he's right. Jesus was all about forgiveness. His forgiveness was tied to our healing in every way. As followers of Jesus, we must be forgivers. But why is it so hard sometimes? Especially when serious abuse or assault is involved. Jesus gives us an amazing mindset to be able to forgive. At the cross, he made a statement that is so curious to me. “Father, forgive them, they don't know what they're doing." Why did Jesus say this? There’s a profound revelation in this statement that can lead us to greater freedom. Let's talk about it this Saturday night.
