Who is the good guy in this story?

 

Being wronged:

  • doesn’t make you right.
  • can make you take revenge.
  • can make you hurt others.
  • can make you build yourself up.

 

Healing from being wronged can only come through forgiveness.

 

            Luke 23:34

 

The only way

  • you can be healed is through forgiveness.
  • the world can be healed is through forgiveness.

 

            Acts 2:38
