Forgiving When You Don’t Feel Like It

ASCENSION
About this episode

Forgiveness is difficult. For many people, it is tempting to hold onto grudges and anger they have towards others. However, Jesus tells us to do something different. In fact, he shows us. Jeff Cavins explains what Scripture tells us about forgiving others and why it is so important for us to be people who forgive.

Snippet from the Show
Jesus didn’t wait for us to change or become perfect before he died for us.
