Power of Forgiveness - Max Lucado

This sermon exhorts listeners to release bitterness and extend forgiveness to those who have caused them pain, grounded in the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant from Matthew 18. The speaker argues that because God has already pardoned the insurmountable debt of human sin, believers are compelled to forgive others from the heart. Rejecting revenge is presented as a necessary step to avoid spiritual addiction to hatred and to preserve personal peace. The message emphasizes that divine love is unconditional and universal, urging unity within the church and across societal divides. Ultimately, the sermon calls for immediate repentance and reliance on the Holy Spirit to break down walls of prejudice and experience true freedom.
