A Journey Through the Psalms: Reflections for Worried Hearts and Troubled Times
Preaching the Psalms Cycles A, B, C
Forgiveness is difficult. Oh, with little things it can be done. Someone slips up and causes inconvenience. A little white lie here, a small mistreatment there, can be dismissed. But with the big things, it is not an easy matter. Who forgives betrayal in marriage? Who forgives a deliberate attempt to hurt or wound? Who forgives a rapist or a murderer? Who forgives an invading, rampaging army? Who forgives us for the litany of wrongs that can be laid at our doorsteps?
Yet, forgiveness is the key to new life. Indeed, forgiveness is key to the continuation of life itself.
