As a Follower of Jesus, some things are more important than others. Matthew 18:21-35 Forgive People Complicated, Yet Simple. Forgiveness can be complex and complicated. But we can't refuse to forgive. Forgiveness is an expectation in the life of a Follower of Jesus. We forgive because God forgave us. It's that simple. We Need to Forgive. When you don't forgive, you give another person power over your life. Forgiveness has no limits, no degrees, no conditions. Forgiveness doesn't mean you forget, or trust, or like. Forgiveness means you let it go. Forgiveness is a process. Forgiveness brings peace.
