Words to Live by: Forgiveness   “Forgiving” may be one of the sweetest ways to describe Jesus Christ. As Christians, we stand forgiven because of what Christ has done for us. To be forgiven is an incredible thing, a life-giving reality. We praise God because He is both holy and loving, a God who forgives and relents from sending calamity. He is known for His mercy.   We prefer for God to be in the role of “forgiver.” Yet we are called to forgive as He has forgiven us. We don’t like this. To forgive another person can feel like letting a guilty person off the hook. How do we navigate this? How can we be convinced that we too must be known as forgiving, merciful people? Join us as we explore some of Jesus’ most compelling teachings this week!   Pastor Nate Roschen
