“LOOKING UNTO JESUS”

– Our Example In How We Are To Forgive Others-

Hebrews 12:2Hebrews 12:2

There is no more important characteristic

found in the human heart than forgiveness.

It's importance is seen in the home, church, community and in the

nation. Someone has said there are "three kindred spirits

in the heart — giving, thanksgiving and

forgiving.

04/18/23 5

Note that in each of these words is the term -

“giving”. Usually where one is found, all are found."

A forgiving heart is an essential quality every

child of God should have (Eph. 4:32Eph. 4:32).

04/18/23 6

If it were within your power to heal someone of some

deadly disease, would you be willing to give to that person

the remedy you possess? You DO posses the power of forgiveness. Are you willing to

forgive those who need it? As we continue to look unto

Jesus – this evening we are going to focus in on this

matter of forgiveness – for Jesus is our PERFECT example

of how to be forgiving.
