This is the fourth week of our series “No Offense.” This week, we are looking at real offenses we suffer from others. In this sin-stained world, people will cheat us, steal from us, and harm us. No one gets out of this world without being harmed and offended by others.

In order to get real offenses out of our heart, we will have to forgive others. We can forgive others’ offenses because Jesus forgave ours. Forgiveness is not saying it didn’t matter. It isn’t saying you trust the person who hurt you. Forgiveness simply means to cancel a debt. The person who offended you doesn’t owe you any longer.

Pray today for the grace to be able to forgive others as Christ has forgiven you.
