Title:
William H. Willimon - "The Peril of Forgiveness" (September 9, 1990)
Description:

  • Sermon start time: (Part 1) 23:40. Sermon end time: (Part 1) 43:36.

  • Jesus’ commandment of limitless forgiveness seems to invite Christians to be indifferent toward what’s wrong. However, the preacher argues that, that’s not the case. True and profound forgiveness is based on the understanding that we are as sinful as the person who sins against us and thus we need forgiveness as much as they do. The good news is that Jesus loves to save the lost, and forgives all who come to him. (Abstract created by Duke Divinity School staff.)
