Forgiveness ~ Luke 7:36-50

Beauty can cause pain and are often hard things. But forgiving those who have sinned against us, or others forgiving us, is a beautiful thing. Forgiving those who have sinned against us is a hard thing. But Jesus refused to live by the “you pluck out my eye, I will gouge yours out. Stick a knife in my back, I’ll put a kitchen drawer full of knives in yours.” Jesus says NO to revenge and tells us to pray for our enemy. The gospel of Luke emphasizes Forgiveness with greater passion than other gospel writers. Join Pastor Mark as he shares how the story of the unknown woman in Luke 7 is a story of deep forgiveness and asks us, are we Simon or are we the unnamed woman? Will we walk the road of forgiveness and offer it to others in both big and small ways.
