Description
1. What Does It Say?“Forgive/Forgiven”, “Debts/Debtors” – We are asking God for forgiveness. We also forgive our debtors. What is going on when we forgive someone?2. What Is the Backstory?Jesus is preaching in the Sermon on the Mount – a primer to a completely different way of life in the Kingdom of God.This verse has a legal background – Deuteronomy 15:2. Debt must be address. We are in a deficit. And the Lord’s release has been proclaimed. 3. What Does It Mean?This prayer is all about connecting with God – and prayer, confession and forgiveness is part of that connection. God’s holiness cannot endorse our sinfulness – we must address our sin.God’s abundance makes stringent economic pressure on others inappropriate. 4. What Does It Mean for Me?Do we live with a sense of superiority over others? This is fundamentally unwise. If you can’t forgive others, you have not experienced forgiveness. (Drew also explains what forgiveness is *not*)***Want to go deeper than the podcast?
