Forgiveness and MacDonald

Recently, I was privileged to hear a powerful message on forgiveness from the pastor of Harvest Bible Fellowship out Chicago. In his sermon, Dr. James MacDonald states that "my capacity for forgiveness is directly related to my comprehension of how much God loves me. When my concept is very small, my capacity to love others is very small as well." As I prepare to teach Ephesians 2:11-22 this week, the concept of remembering just what I was saved and forgiven from draws me to press into Christ and forgive others more freely, even when I don't have their understanding or acknowledgement of my hurt. The blog post touching on the points regarding MacDonald's message is here . Enjoy!
