[460.66 --> 461.98] Guess who?
[465.20 --> 468.46] Forgive as you've been forgiven.
[469.28 --> 475.76] But if you don't think you've been forgiven profoundly, you won't know how to forgive profoundly.
[475.76 --> 480.64] Imagine the desperation that this woman felt.
[480.64 --> 485.86] She went into the Pharisee's house knowing full well how they would think of her.
[485.86 --> 492.66] But she went in with her sin, with her desperation, because she knew Jesus was there.
[492.66 --> 499.46] Her tears flow in an act of desperation, an act of worship, because she knows grace is available.
[502.34 --> 509.14] For those who have been forgiven much, well, there's great love and great grace available.
[509.14 --> 513.86] But whoever has been forgiven little, loves little.
[514.04 --> 515.10] Think about that.
[515.36 --> 517.52] Whoever forgives little, loves little.
[517.76 --> 519.46] Notice the combination here.
[520.34 --> 528.40] And what we need to hear, if we think we can be like Simon, we need to see that we've been forgiven much.
[528.40 --> 537.34] And we need to be made desperate so that we can be open to receiving the profound forgiveness that we actually need.
[539.14 --> 543.86] Because that's where profound love comes from.
[544.02 --> 545.12] Much love, as Jesus says.
[546.80 --> 549.66] And I could hear the question from Simon, maybe others as well.
[549.84 --> 553.28] Are you saying I'm as bad as that woman, that sinner?
[553.72 --> 555.24] And the answer is yes.
[557.24 --> 557.68] Yes.
[558.86 --> 561.58] I'm always fascinated what Jesus does with some of the commands.
[561.82 --> 566.74] You know, do not commit adultery, but I say to you, any man who looks lustfully commits adultery in his heart.
[566.90 --> 567.96] What, are you saying I'm the same?
[567.96 --> 569.66] I mean, yeah.
[571.46 --> 571.86] Yeah.
[575.64 --> 579.70] Scripture says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
[579.94 --> 583.78] I might add, all have profoundly sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
[584.88 --> 585.28] All.
[585.98 --> 586.94] Jesus died.
[587.28 --> 590.00] Jesus died not because of your little bit of sinfulness.
[591.20 --> 592.42] Oh, you know, I do these little sins.
[592.90 --> 594.34] Jesus died for my little sins.
[594.34 --> 598.52] Jesus died because you are a profound sinner.
[600.72 --> 603.68] In desperate need of his grace.
[604.98 --> 607.04] And there's no getting around that.
[607.04 --> 615.20] He died because your sins were so deep, he had to die.
[616.56 --> 619.94] When we read through the gospel, we see the centrality of forgiveness for everyone.
[621.02 --> 623.28] Forgiveness is essential to our very lives.
[623.50 --> 627.32] And if we don't see that, we can't receive it, and we won't know how to give it.
[627.32 --> 629.38] It's all kind of a package deal here.
[629.94 --> 631.46] Unforgiveness is death.
[631.46 --> 638.10] It keeps us trapped in lies, in unawareness, in relational dysfunction, in self-centeredness.
[639.56 --> 644.10] You need forgiveness, and you need to forgive.
[645.98 --> 646.72] Both.
[647.52 --> 652.36] You can't receive God's forgiveness without knowing the depths of your brokenness.
[652.36 --> 654.32] And even then, you're probably still not there.
[654.98 --> 659.00] And only then will you be able to forgive profound brokenness that harms you.
[661.44 --> 667.70] In that honesty, we can then come to the Father, and then begin to love and forgive like Him.
[670.38 --> 674.12] So, let me start off with some things that forgiveness isn't.
[675.46 --> 677.08] Forgiveness isn't forgetting.
[678.46 --> 681.80] Remember a number of years back, there was a really good book called Forgive and Forget.
[683.04 --> 685.22] And I really like the book.
[685.48 --> 688.04] But I don't think that happens.
[688.16 --> 689.58] We are people who remember.
[690.46 --> 696.34] Although, I caution you to not replace the word remember with rehearse.
[698.16 --> 703.72] Sometimes, you know, we can have a sin, and then we rehearse what that person did, and we rehearse it, and we rehearse it,
[703.72 --> 708.06] and then we feel the pain all over again, we rehearse it, and we rehearse it, and we just can never let it go then.
[708.84 --> 710.46] You know, there's something wrong in there too.
[710.46 --> 713.18] But we are going to remember.
[713.96 --> 720.26] We are a people whose memories are there, and when they're deep and painful.
[720.26 --> 730.64] You know, I had a young man come up to me after the service, in the first service, and he asked about that.
[730.78 --> 732.96] He says, you know, aren't we supposed to forget?
[732.96 --> 738.90] And I said to him, you know, I said, well, what if I punched you in the face now?
[741.80 --> 742.66] And he, what?
[743.28 --> 750.74] I said, well, if I punched you in the face right now, and then I asked you to forgive me, and would you?
[750.74 --> 754.08] And he said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I would.
[754.52 --> 755.62] I said, would you forget?
[755.84 --> 756.20] No.
[757.74 --> 758.08] No.
[758.16 --> 760.02] I said, that's kind of how this goes here, right?
[761.70 --> 763.56] Something profound happens to you.
[763.88 --> 765.28] You're going to remember it.
[767.86 --> 768.80] You're going to remember that.
[768.80 --> 770.96] But, you know, so forgive and forget, right?
[771.04 --> 774.92] The memory is part of the pain of forgiveness.
[776.08 --> 783.20] The couple who have to live with the deep pain of betrayal don't forget the betrayal.
[785.40 --> 786.30] How could they?
[786.30 --> 792.22] But they learn to love again with the pain.
[794.22 --> 795.16] With the pain.
[798.92 --> 800.86] You know, we say things in weddings, right?
[801.74 --> 805.32] In sickness and health, you know, and all the stuff in our vows.
[805.78 --> 807.40] You know, for better, for worse.
[808.14 --> 810.36] Except we're not expecting worse, are we?
[811.94 --> 813.38] Until it shows up.
[813.74 --> 815.68] And now we have to figure that out.
[816.30 --> 817.68] And what do we do with all that?
[818.58 --> 818.74] Right?
[819.00 --> 820.92] And that requires honesty.
[821.14 --> 822.66] And that requires accountability.
[823.14 --> 825.26] And there's a path to healing required.
[825.62 --> 828.36] Forgiveness isn't simply tossing the pain aside.
[830.68 --> 832.30] That's not how this goes.
[833.74 --> 837.60] Folks, I've seen marriages survive and then eventually thrive again.
[837.60 --> 843.08] When genuine confession leads to genuine forgiveness with a pathway to healing.
[843.08 --> 856.26] And the one who is wronged needs to be deeply aware of how much forgiveness they also need in life.
[857.86 --> 860.38] We don't stand on different ground.
[860.48 --> 861.90] We all stand broken together.
[862.64 --> 864.58] You know, and then this.
[864.74 --> 865.16] Then this.
[866.48 --> 868.02] Forgiveness is not merely a feeling.
