No Future Without Forgiveness

I think we forget how important forgiveness is to Jesus. As Pastor Dennis said, it is a Christ mandated subject. This past year as I have read through the gospels, I was reminded of that...over and over Jesus spoke about forgiveness...forgiveness from God, forgiveness for each other. When people would come for healing...Jesus brought forgiveness first. He wants us to live like it's important to us!

Well, for the rest of this Sunday on Monday, Let's do the homework. Get out those worksheets from Sunday.

After reading the Parable of the Good Samaritan- answer the questions.

I will respond to question 1 here--My opinion is that the teacher of the Law was more outraged by the depiction of a Samaritan being kind because it went against his opinion of the Samaritans. He could feel superior to the Samaritans by believing they are all basically evil. I think the outrage would come because not only was the Samaritan depicted as kind but it was in comparison to the priest and Levite depicted as uncaring. What do you think?

Go ahead finish your homework!
