Key verse: “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.” (Ephesians 4:32)

Well, it’s pretty well accepted that none of us is perfect. We make mistakes. We try, but fail. And worse, sometimes we don’t even try. Sometimes we hurt others intentionally. We do things we know are wrong. What all this underscores is the simple truth that everyone needs forgiveness. None of us has gotten this life correct. And none of us has gotten this godly life thing even close to correct. Between here and the end we are all going to need a lot of forgiveness … and God has given us just that in Jesus Christ. And now he calls us to forgive one another as he has forgiven us. And that’s where we are today. Forgive each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.
