[868.02 --> 869.02] Forgiveness is not merely a feeling.
[869.02 --> 873.20] You know, if you ask people who've been hurt, do you feel like forgiving?
[873.30 --> 874.42] The answer is going to be no.
[875.68 --> 880.78] There's going to be times when we have to choose to forgive even though our feelings say otherwise.
[882.02 --> 884.66] Anyone here ever have a nasty fight with someone they love?
[886.44 --> 886.90] Just me?
[887.44 --> 887.74] Okay.
[888.70 --> 889.14] Okay.
[889.42 --> 889.72] All right.
[889.72 --> 891.66] Well, I'll share it with you.
[892.96 --> 899.76] In the moments of intense feelings, things can be said that shouldn't have been said.
[899.82 --> 900.44] You ever been there?
[901.30 --> 901.48] Right?
[901.76 --> 906.26] And maybe it felt pretty satisfying even saying those things in those moments.
[907.88 --> 909.10] But they shouldn't have been said.
[909.10 --> 917.48] But as one who knows the forgiveness of Jesus, I need to allow the Spirit of God to intervene in my thoughts.
[917.74 --> 923.92] I need to choose humility before my Lord instead of being dictated by my feelings.
[925.50 --> 932.90] And then I need to learn to ignore those strong feelings and choose to allow forgiveness and humility to redefine the broken moment.
[935.82 --> 939.00] And this isn't about pretending we're not hurt.
[939.10 --> 943.84] Or that we're going to excuse us or condone something.
[944.18 --> 947.94] But it's not the place where the emotions run wild and dictate the moment.
[951.84 --> 959.88] And then we surrender that moment to grace and to the love of the other to coming before the Lord somehow.
[960.62 --> 962.14] And I'm not pretending that's easy.
[963.42 --> 965.90] To follow Jesus even in those hard places.
[965.90 --> 968.16] Jesus who sat on the cross.
[968.56 --> 969.64] Here he is hanging on the cross.
[969.94 --> 972.36] And he looks down at these people who put him there.
[972.56 --> 973.94] And he says, Father, forgive them.
[974.22 --> 975.78] They don't know what they're doing.
[977.40 --> 978.96] Well, he didn't get up there accidentally.
[980.66 --> 981.02] Right?
[981.18 --> 982.20] But it's the same for me.
[982.24 --> 983.26] I was thinking of that too.
[983.62 --> 985.86] You know, I need to pray in my prayers for forgiveness.
[986.20 --> 987.06] Father, forgive me.
[987.06 --> 988.46] I don't know what I'm doing.
[992.12 --> 993.56] I think I do.
[995.02 --> 996.02] But I don't.
[996.96 --> 997.88] Forgive me for that.
[998.52 --> 1000.10] I don't see all the implications.
[1000.30 --> 1001.42] I don't see all the dynamics.
[1001.74 --> 1004.16] I don't see all the pain that that person feels.
[1004.30 --> 1006.56] And then I'm just thinking about me and being right and whatever.
[1007.52 --> 1008.42] And then this.
[1008.66 --> 1011.40] Forgiveness does not mean that something is not sin.
[1011.40 --> 1016.58] Actually, just the opposite.
[1017.30 --> 1020.84] Forgiveness is about seeing the sin.
[1022.14 --> 1025.50] Sometimes sin is such a blank cover.
[1027.04 --> 1028.28] Oh, forgive me my sins.
[1028.44 --> 1029.80] I remember with my dad once.
[1030.38 --> 1032.82] You know, he said, forgive me my sins.
[1033.16 --> 1034.18] And he said, name one.
[1035.44 --> 1035.88] Right?
[1036.40 --> 1037.42] Yeah, that's fair.
[1038.44 --> 1039.38] Could have said it to him too.
[1039.38 --> 1040.24] But anyway, that doesn't matter.
[1041.40 --> 1050.38] You know, in our Christian worldview, sometimes we have a tendency to want to let forgiveness be about minimizing the sin.
[1050.74 --> 1052.86] You know, we say something, just let it go.
[1055.06 --> 1057.52] And then abuse gets tolerated.
[1058.92 --> 1060.30] After all, you're forgiven, right?
[1063.20 --> 1064.14] It's not that.
[1064.14 --> 1068.14] We need to name sin.
[1070.14 --> 1070.58] Clearly.
[1071.68 --> 1073.32] And then forgive.
[1073.78 --> 1075.06] Or ask for forgiveness.
[1075.28 --> 1077.00] Which means working toward health and healing.
[1078.90 --> 1082.88] I don't know if, as a teacher, for many years, sometimes you had students.
[1083.42 --> 1085.46] You know, you might say, hey, who did this?
[1085.62 --> 1086.06] Sorry!
[1086.06 --> 1086.14] Sorry!
[1087.56 --> 1089.04] I didn't say anything yet.
[1089.06 --> 1090.60] I didn't even name the offense.
[1090.72 --> 1091.86] You're already saying, sorry.
[1092.74 --> 1093.10] Right?
[1093.24 --> 1095.78] Which was their way of just saying, okay, go away.
[1095.90 --> 1096.64] I said sorry.
[1097.60 --> 1097.98] Right?
[1098.20 --> 1099.64] And sometimes we can be that way.
[1099.72 --> 1100.50] We're just going to say, sorry!
[1101.18 --> 1101.90] All done, right?
[1101.98 --> 1102.32] Sorry!
[1103.54 --> 1104.80] And it's a cheap sorry.
[1105.92 --> 1106.98] And it doesn't cut it.
[1106.98 --> 1112.58] Forgiveness and justice go hand in hand.
[1113.04 --> 1116.42] Which is so different than forgiveness and payback.
[1116.68 --> 1117.76] Forgiveness and vengeance.
[1118.12 --> 1119.56] Forgiveness and getting even.
[1122.56 --> 1131.04] And then with that in mind, forgiveness is not allowing wrongdoers to carry on with their wrongdoing.
[1134.12 --> 1136.12] Anyone here remember Rachel Denhollander?
[1136.98 --> 1146.66] She was the gal, the American Olympic gymnast, who was one of the people abused by Larry Nassar.
[1148.28 --> 1153.74] Larry Nassar was the doctor that abused a whole bunch of women.
[1155.82 --> 1162.56] And Denhollander became the last of 150 survivors, all women, almost all of them gymnasts,
[1162.56 --> 1166.12] to share their impact statement in court with Nassar.
[1166.98 --> 1174.14] Who was convicted of seven counts of first degree criminal sexual contact and sentenced up to 175 years in jail.
[1178.26 --> 1180.10] She says this to him in court.
[1180.20 --> 1180.70] Picture that.
[1181.94 --> 1183.10] She's speaking directly to him.
[1183.10 --> 1189.56] I pray you experience the soul crushing weight of guilt.
[1191.10 --> 1197.58] So that you may someday experience true repentance and true forgiveness from God.
[1197.74 --> 1200.40] Which you need far more than forgiveness from me.
