St. Paul Lutheran Church

Forgiveness. We don't do it naturally. We seek revenge, repayment, and retribution when we are hurt. Yet Jesus teaches us and shows us that he is in the forgiveness business and he doesn't just teach it he lives out in his life and in his death. What might change in your life if you really believe Jesus words of forgiveness to you and to those who have hurt you? Maybe his prayer on the cross, "Father forgive them, for they know not what they do?" is exactly the place you need to go to hear his pardoning and transforming words and acts of forgiveness.
