sermonette: Total Forgiveness
Heartfelt Forgiveness of Others
Mark S. Baker
Given 16-Oct-04; Sermon #688s; 13 minutes
Description: (hide)
Mark Baker admonishes us that even though memories of past offenses may stubbornly haunt us, we have an obligation to forgive others as God has forgiven us (not only has He forgiven our sins — He has perfectly forgotten them). Forgiveness is conditional; we forgive others as God has forgiven us. As members of God's family, we dare not become bitter, hard- hearted, and calloused toward others, but must learn to forgive them as our Heavenly Father and Elder Brother have provided us an example. The parable of the unforgiving servant gives us a chilling reminder that we must "pass on" the forgiveness to others.
