In this sermon we learned how to examine the wound someone else caused you. We can own how it feels, own what to do about it, but blaming the incident never make a healing treatment.
In many cases, we’ve become our wounds (false self). We know ourselves by the hurts we carry. Others notice us by the hurts we carry (Hurt people keep hurting people - and you’re one of the them).
We tend to tell our stories as the hero or the victim (and accentuate either highlight). We should see and tell it as rescued and redeemed.
Salvation is deeper by surrendering to forgiveness.
Personal Question: How have the wounds I’ve carried shaped my story, my identity, my decisions, and my mind, for better or for worse?
Community Question: How has the cross of Jesus shaped the way I forgive?
