Sermon summary:
Did Jesus say, "You don't need to forgive them?" And, "You won't have bad days?"
- You don't need to forgive them. Matthew 6:9-15 The Bible doesn't say, "forgive us our debt: while we hold on to our own grudges.
Matthew 18: 21-25 We need to forgive others from the heart, otherwise God won't forgive us. We need to forgive as the Lord forgave us (Colossians 3:13).
2. You won't have bad days. John 16:20a-22 Jesus says you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices.
In John 16:33, Jesus says in this world you will have many troubles, but that he's overcome the world. Ease and comfort never make you stronger. Jesus set the example of having a bad day—his crucifixion and death, and coming out victorious on the other side.
