Jesus Never Said That – Part 4: “You Don’t Need to Forgive Them”
Forgiveness gets real when the pain is personal.
But Jesus never told us to hold onto hurt—He calls us to release it so we can be free. In Matthew 6:9–15, we’re reminded that forgiveness isn’t excusing the pain—it’s refusing to let it control your life.
Key Takeaways:
Holding onto hurt keeps you bound – Bitterness doesn’t punish them, it poisons you (Hebrews 12:15)
Forgiveness frees you more than them – Release it to God and take your peace back (Romans 12:19)
What feels impossible becomes possible through Jesus – The same grace you received empowers you to forgive (Colossians 3:12–13).
