Week 1: Day 5
The Challenge of Forgiveness
Scripture to meditate on:
“For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.” – Matthew 6:14
Devotional:
Justice is often intertwined with forgiveness, a concept that can be challenging to grasp fully. As we journey through the broken signpost of justice, we encounter the tension between holding others accountable and extending forgiveness. Explore the delicate balance between seeking justice and embodying Christ’s call to forgive. Pray for the wisdom to navigate this tension with grace and discernment.
Question to ponder:
- Can you see the tension between justice and the need to forgive?
- Is there a need to offer forgiveness to someone you know because of this tension?
