Did Jesus say that?—by Tsepo May

Sermon summary:

Did Jesus say, "You don't need to forgive them?" And, "You won't have bad days?"

  1. 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.

My Story, His Glory. God wants to glorify himself through our lives and always shows up when least expected. As his followers, he entrusts his flock to us. He expects us to care for one another, build one another up, eradicate gossip and slander from our lives and forgive one another.
