[78.74 --> 81.62] Maybe you have been betrayed.
[81.62 --> 81.84] Maybe you have been betrayed.
[81.84 --> 81.86] Maybe you have been betrayed.
[81.86 --> 82.36] Maybe you have been betrayed.
[82.36 --> 89.96] Maybe you have been lied to or you are living a lie.
[89.96 --> 95.10] Maybe you are judgmental or you feel judged all the time.
[95.10 --> 102.00] Maybe you look down on certain people or you feel absolutely useless and unworthy in yourself.
[102.00 --> 107.68] You need forgiveness so badly.
[108.26 --> 111.94] And you need to forgive so badly.
[113.50 --> 119.76] Yet in our culture, there seems to be a different feeling expressed sometimes.
[120.56 --> 124.04] Elizabeth Brennig in the New York Times wrote an article on forgiveness.
[124.04 --> 133.66] And she says, we have a culture marked by an outraged sense of justice and a desire to make people atone for their sins.
[134.78 --> 141.16] And it feels like we as a culture are offended by the very idea of forgiveness.
[142.58 --> 143.74] Isn't that interesting?
[144.96 --> 151.24] I think there's a sense that there's a fear that we let people get away with the stuff that they do when we forgive.
[151.24 --> 158.40] And if you're in the wrong, according to the article, it will cancel you even if you're willing to change.
[160.06 --> 168.02] Now forgiveness, when it's quick forgiveness, can be problematic because too often it doesn't include a sense of justice in there.
[168.66 --> 172.70] But without forgiveness, reconciliation is not possible.
[173.42 --> 174.40] It's not possible.
[175.18 --> 176.90] Forgive as you've been forgiven.
[176.90 --> 182.48] It recognizes that we all need forgiveness in order to see healing happen.
[185.24 --> 193.30] Forgiveness is an essential to the relational fabric of our lives, our relationship with God, and our relationships with one another.
[194.18 --> 197.36] And those who know this deeply build better relationships.
[197.64 --> 198.98] That's just straight out true.
[198.98 --> 203.18] Those who know how to forgive build better relationships.
[203.56 --> 206.70] Because they stay humble knowing they need to be forgiven.
[207.04 --> 210.60] And they know how to forgive because they know how to receive forgiveness.
[210.98 --> 212.92] They go hand in hand.
[214.20 --> 216.32] And so we're going to jump into this in this series here.
[216.84 --> 220.74] I'm going to give you a lot to think about this morning, I think.
[221.36 --> 222.88] Matthew 6, look at it with me.
[222.88 --> 223.88] Matthew 6, verse 3.
[224.72 --> 225.54] We're going to read.
[225.86 --> 227.72] This is the Lord's Prayer here.
[228.62 --> 230.52] And where we read, Jesus says,
[231.00 --> 233.90] Forgive us our debts, our trespasses, our sins.
[234.32 --> 237.54] As we also have forgiven our debtors.
[238.36 --> 238.74] There we go.
[238.78 --> 239.96] You see the combination there.
[240.62 --> 243.54] And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.
[243.78 --> 244.82] And then Jesus goes on.
[245.08 --> 250.76] For if you forgive other people when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you.
[250.76 --> 256.88] But if you do not forgive others their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.
[257.94 --> 262.42] And that ought to make you stop in your tracks and say, what?
[262.66 --> 263.74] What do you mean I don't get forgiven?
[264.16 --> 267.96] If you don't forgive, you don't get forgiveness.
[268.94 --> 270.88] I mean, that's a profound thing to say.
[270.96 --> 272.32] That's something to wrestle with.
[272.74 --> 273.80] So what does that look like?
[274.02 --> 278.18] We're going to talk a little bit about this idea of what is forgiveness, what isn't forgiveness.
[278.18 --> 284.00] And we're going to start off with a case study from the life of Jesus about this woman.
[284.94 --> 289.46] There was a party at the house of Simon the Pharisee that Jesus was invited to.
[290.44 --> 294.26] And this woman of bad reputation comes in.
[294.54 --> 296.12] And she falls at Jesus' feet.
[296.26 --> 297.34] And she weeps on his feet.
[297.46 --> 298.32] Poured oils on his feet.
[298.66 --> 299.82] And dries it with her hair.
[300.02 --> 302.06] A profound picture.
[302.06 --> 304.52] I want you to picture it.
[305.08 --> 307.86] And then this is what happens next.
[308.44 --> 309.00] Luke 7.
[309.10 --> 309.78] Look at it with me.
[310.74 --> 316.80] When the Pharisee, and that's Simon, who had invited Jesus saw this, this woman,
[317.54 --> 322.76] he said to himself, if this man were a prophet, he would know who is touching him
[322.76 --> 325.80] and what kind of woman she is, that she is a sinner.
[325.80 --> 332.14] Jesus answered him, Simon, I have something to tell you.
[332.92 --> 334.42] Tell me, teacher, he said.
[336.22 --> 339.32] Two people owed money to a certain money lender.
[339.94 --> 342.42] One owed 500 denarii, the other 50.
[342.80 --> 346.48] Neither of them had the money to pay him back, so he forgave the debts of both.
[346.66 --> 349.50] Now, which of them will love him more?
[350.56 --> 353.20] Well, Simon replied, I suppose the one who had the bigger debt forgiven.
[353.20 --> 355.36] Simon, you have judged correctly.
[356.02 --> 356.92] And now you picture this.
[357.52 --> 359.52] Then he's looking at this woman who's at his feet.
[360.78 --> 363.16] And he's talking to Simon, but he's looking at her.
[363.24 --> 365.10] He's pulling the attention toward her.
[365.96 --> 370.20] Then he turned toward the woman and he said to Simon, do you see this woman?
[373.72 --> 375.00] I came into your house.
[376.08 --> 379.20] You didn't give me any water for my feet, which would have been customary.
[379.20 --> 384.22] And she wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.
[385.58 --> 391.20] You did not give me a kiss, which was also customary, but the woman from the time I entered has not stopped kissing my feet.
[391.40 --> 396.12] You did not put oil on my head, but she has poured perfume on my feet.
[396.38 --> 402.48] Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven, as her great love has shown.
[402.48 --> 406.18] But whoever has been forgiven little, loves little.
[408.40 --> 410.94] And then Jesus said to the woman, your sins are forgiven.
[412.30 --> 416.48] The other guests began to say amongst themselves, who is this that even forgives sins?
[417.14 --> 419.22] And Jesus said to the woman, your faith has saved you.
[419.26 --> 419.80] Go in peace.
[423.22 --> 425.00] Who do you identify with in the story?
[426.88 --> 429.48] Maybe several characters.
[430.38 --> 431.06] I know I could.
[431.06 --> 436.66] Simon, he's a religious leader, and he certainly doesn't put himself in the same place as this woman.
[437.78 --> 438.82] What a sinner.
[439.28 --> 440.92] And Jesus acknowledges her.
[441.04 --> 441.94] He engages with her.
[441.98 --> 443.42] He lets her touch him.
[443.64 --> 448.06] And we have the religious leader's reaction to sin versus this clearly sinful woman.
[448.06 --> 455.94] Or we might say we have one blind to his own sins versus one who knows her sins only too well.
[455.94 --> 460.46] And only one of these people will be forgiven.
