The Sacred Way: Forgiveness

The Sacred Way: Forgiveness

by Kasey Vander Veen

Remember the title of this Lenten series, The Sacred Way? Remember the words of John the Baptist, “He must increase and I must decrease”? Today we will use the story of Judas to look at what happens when we say, “I am ok with more of God and less of me as long as it happens my way.” The question for this morning relates directly to the Sacred Way concept of forgiveness. Was Judas forgiven? We were told to pray, “forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” If we have trouble forgiving a ‘Judas’ in our lives, are we any better than the Judas who only wanted Jesus on his terms? No one ever said the ‘Sacred Way’ would be easy – at least not for us.
