Forgiveness

What does forgiveness have to do with this time of year? If we think about it, Christians don't usually spend much time contemplating forgiveness except, perhaps, during the Easter season. Forgiveness is one of those touchy matters--even for those who don't think of themselves as especially emotionally sensitive. But without Christmas, there would be no Easter.

Forgiveness is something beyond human nature
Forgiveness is truly divine in conception and in command
Forgiveness is
