  • 00:01:31.681 --> 00:01:37.620
  • Jeffress: i partnered with the barna research group, and we did
  • 00:01:37.620 --> 00:01:40.924
  • A national survey on the subject of forgiveness among
  • 00:01:40.924 --> 00:01:45.028
  • American christians.
  • 00:01:45.028 --> 00:01:46.696
  • And in our survey, we found that most christians have an
  • 00:01:46.696 --> 00:01:49.899
  • Unbiblical understanding of forgiveness.
  • 00:01:49.899 --> 00:01:52.669
  • They don't understand what it is.
  • 00:01:52.669 --> 00:01:54.871
  • And there are four fallacies that keep many christians as
  • 00:01:54.871 --> 00:01:58.508
  • Prisoners of regrets over the hurts of others.
  • 00:01:58.508 --> 00:02:02.011
  • Let me mention those four myths about forgiveness, four
  • 00:02:02.011 --> 00:02:05.815
  • Fallacies about forgiveness, that may truly be keeping you
  • 00:02:05.815 --> 00:02:09.719
  • From forgiving that person in your life who needs to
  • 00:02:09.719 --> 00:02:12.855
  • Be forgiven.
  • 00:02:12.855 --> 00:02:14.190
  • Fallacy number one, forgiveness must be earned.
  • 00:02:14.190 --> 00:02:18.061
  • "you just can't let that offender off the hook,"
  • 00:02:18.061 --> 00:02:20.897
  • We think.
  • 00:02:20.897 --> 00:02:22.232
  • "why, that's not right!
  • 00:02:22.232 --> 00:02:23.600
  • You can't let him go unpunished.
  • 00:02:23.600 --> 00:02:25.602
  • It's not right for you.
  • 00:02:25.602 --> 00:02:26.936
  • It's really not right for him.
  • 00:02:26.936 --> 00:02:28.304
  • He has to earn forgiveness."
  • 00:02:28.304 --> 00:02:31.174
  • But here's the problem.
  • 00:02:31.174 --> 00:02:32.775
  • There are really two problems with that idea of thinking your
  • 00:02:32.775 --> 00:02:35.278
  • Offender can earn your forgiveness.
  • 00:02:35.278 --> 00:02:37.413
  • First of all, earning forgiveness is really impossible
  • 00:02:37.413 --> 00:02:40.483
  • When you think about it.
  • 00:02:40.483 --> 00:02:42.218
  • Remember what jesus said in the sermon on the mount?
  • 00:02:42.218 --> 00:02:44.887
  • You've heard it say, "an eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth,
  • 00:02:44.887 --> 00:02:48.424
  • But i say to you, don't resist the one who does evil," and
  • 00:02:48.424 --> 00:02:51.527
  • So forth.
  • 00:02:51.527 --> 00:02:52.895
  • You know, we think of that as a barbaric rule, an eye for an
  • 00:02:52.895 --> 00:02:56.266
  • Eye, a tooth for a tooth.
  • 00:02:56.266 --> 00:02:57.634
  • But really it was a law.
  • 00:02:57.634 --> 00:03:00.270
  • We call it lex talionis, the law of retribution, that was given
  • 00:03:00.270 --> 00:03:04.741
  • To keep order in society.
  • 00:03:04.741 --> 00:03:07.944
  • In other words, the punishment should not be any greater than
  • 00:03:07.944 --> 00:03:11.281
  • A crime.
  • 00:03:11.281 --> 00:03:12.649
  • It shouldn't be a life for an eye.
  • 00:03:12.649 --> 00:03:14.751
  • It's an eye for an eye.
  • 00:03:14.751 --> 00:03:17.153
  • In other words, you measure the punishment.
  • 00:03:17.153 --> 00:03:20.757
  • But here's the problem.
  • 00:03:20.757 --> 00:03:22.125
  • Gandhi pointed out the problem with an eye for an eye and a
  • 00:03:22.125 --> 00:03:24.727
  • Tooth for a tooth is that eventually everybody turns out
  • 00:03:24.727 --> 00:03:27.764
  • Blind and toothless.
  • 00:03:27.764 --> 00:03:30.033
  • There's got to be a better way.
  • 00:03:30.033 --> 00:03:33.169
  • And in the end, when you've lost your tooth, you've still lost
  • 00:03:33.169 --> 00:03:36.406
  • Your tooth.
  • 00:03:36.406 --> 00:03:37.774
  • You lose your eye, you've lost your eye.
  • 00:03:37.774 --> 00:03:39.309
  • It's really impossible to earn forgiveness.
  • 00:03:39.309 --> 00:03:43.212
  • For example, what could somebody pay back to you to make up for a
  • 00:03:43.212 --> 00:03:47.150
  • Child killed by a drunk driver?
  • 00:03:47.150 --> 00:03:50.086
  • How could anybody repay you for a marriage that is torn apart
  • 00:03:50.086 --> 00:03:54.123
  • By adultery?
  • 00:03:54.123 --> 00:03:56.592
  • How do you repay for a reputation that has been lost
  • 00:03:56.592 --> 00:04:02.131
  • Through slander?
  • 00:04:02.131 --> 00:04:03.499
  • Once it's lost, it's lost.
  • 00:04:03.499 --> 00:04:06.002
  • What do you do about that?
  • 00:04:06.002 --> 00:04:07.370
  • It's impossible to earn forgiveness.
  • 00:04:07.370 --> 00:04:10.340
  • Secondly, and this is key, earning forgiveness really binds
  • 00:04:10.340 --> 00:04:14.477
  • You to your offender.
  • 00:04:14.477 --> 00:04:16.579
  • It makes you a partner with your offender when you're waiting on
  • 00:04:16.579 --> 00:04:20.450
  • Them to do something before you free yourself from the prison
  • 00:04:20.450 --> 00:04:24.821
  • Of regrets.
  • 00:04:24.821 --> 00:04:26.756
  • I remember reading about a man named kevin tunell.
  • 00:04:26.756 --> 00:04:29.559
  • In 1982, he was convicted of drunk driving that resulted in
  • 00:04:29.559 --> 00:04:34.063
  • The death of an 18-year-old girl.
  • 00:04:34.063 --> 00:04:36.933
  • The family wanted $1.5 million to be paid for restitution.
  • 00:04:36.933 --> 00:04:42.138
  • They didn't get that.
  • 00:04:42.138 --> 00:04:43.506
  • Instead, they got $936.
  • 00:04:43.506 --> 00:04:47.143
  • But this is what the court ordered.
  • 00:04:47.143 --> 00:04:50.146
  • They ordered that kevin tunell would pay that debt $1 at
  • 00:04:50.146 --> 00:04:54.884
  • A time.
  • 00:04:54.884 --> 00:04:56.219
  • Every week on friday, the day of the girl's death, he was
  • 00:04:56.219 --> 00:04:59.789
  • Required to send the family a check for $1, and he had to do
  • 00:04:59.789 --> 00:05:04.060
  • That for 936 weeks.
  • 00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:07.663
  • The punishment was obvious.
  • 00:05:07.663 --> 00:05:10.233
  • The court wanted kevin to remember every week what he had
  • 00:05:10.233 --> 00:05:14.537
  • Done to extinguish the life of this girl.
  • 00:05:14.537 --> 00:05:18.441
  • But here's the problem.
  • 00:05:18.441 --> 00:05:20.009
  • He mailed the check, but the family was forced every week to
  • 00:05:20.009 --> 00:05:23.980
  • Open the mailbox and remember what had happened to
  • 00:05:23.980 --> 00:05:27.150
  • Their daughter.
  • 00:05:27.150 --> 00:05:28.751
  • And after 936 weeks after the payment was made, they still
  • 00:05:28.751 --> 00:05:33.456
  • Didn't have their daughter back.
  • 00:05:33.456 --> 00:05:35.691
  • You see, when you require your offender to do something, you
  • 00:05:35.691 --> 00:05:40.229
  • Are making yourself a prisoner to them.
  • 00:05:40.229 --> 00:05:44.834
  • You remember--maybe you've been to those old-fashioned picnics
  • 00:05:44.834 --> 00:05:48.738
  • Before and remember the--for the games, they sometimes have the
  • 00:05:48.738 --> 00:05:53.142
  • Three-legged races, and you would have your leg bound to a
  • 00:05:53.142 --> 00:05:57.346
  • Partner, and y'all would hobble down to the finish
  • 00:05:57.346 --> 00:06:00.483
  • Line together.
  • 00:06:00.483 --> 00:06:01.818
  • You'd try to go as fast as you could, but you couldn't do it.
  • 00:06:01.818 --> 00:06:04.754
  • And if you ever had a thought like i did, i would think how
  • 00:06:04.754 --> 00:06:07.457
  • Can i get loose from this jerk so i can get further and faster?
  • 00:06:07.457 --> 00:06:12.295
  • But you see, three-legged races don't allow for solo contenders.
  • 00:06:12.295 --> 00:06:16.699
  • You have to have a partner.
  • 00:06:16.699 --> 00:06:18.468
  • You can travel no farther or faster than he's able to.
  • 00:06:18.468 --> 00:06:22.839
  • It's the same way when you require that your offender ask
  • 00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:27.477
  • For forgiveness or earn your forgiveness.
  • 00:06:27.477 --> 00:06:30.046
  • You are making yourself emotionally bound to that
  • 00:06:30.046 --> 00:06:33.115
  • Other person.
  • 00:06:33.115 --> 00:06:34.484
  • You can travel no farther or faster in life than they're
  • 00:06:34.484 --> 00:06:37.653
  • Willing to go.
  • 00:06:37.653 --> 00:06:39.021
  • But forgiveness is the process by which we separate ourself
  • 00:06:39.021 --> 00:06:42.625
  • From our offender.
  • 00:06:42.625 --> 00:06:43.993
  • We say, "what you did was wrong."
  • 00:06:43.993 --> 00:06:45.561
  • If we don't say it out loud, we say it in our hearts, "you
  • 00:06:45.561 --> 00:06:47.997
  • Did wrong.
  • 00:06:47.997 --> 00:06:49.365
  • You deserve to suffer for what you did, but i'm gonna let god
  • 00:06:49.365 --> 00:06:51.901
  • Deal with you.
  • 00:06:51.901 --> 00:06:53.236
  • I'm gonna be free of you so i can get on with my life."
  • 00:06:53.236 --> 00:06:56.405
  • That's what forgiveness does.
  • 00:06:56.405 --> 00:06:58.641
  • Earning forgiveness binds you to your offender.
  • 00:06:58.641 --> 00:07:03.546
  • There's a second mistake that many people have about their
  • 00:07:03.546 --> 00:07:07.450
  • Thinking of forgiveness.
  • 00:07:07.450 --> 00:07:08.985
  • They think that forgiveness is a one-time act.
  • 00:07:08.985 --> 00:07:12.655
  • We think that we can forgive a person once for all and never
  • 00:07:12.655 --> 00:07:16.025
  • Have to deal with it again.
  • 00:07:16.025 --> 00:07:18.294
  • But did you know that outside of becoming a christian, there
  • 00:07:18.294 --> 00:07:21.731
  • Really are no one-time decisions about anything that's important
  • 00:07:21.731 --> 00:07:25.434
  • In life?
  • 00:07:25.434 --> 00:07:26.802
  • I mean, somebody decides they're going to quit smoking.
  • 00:07:26.802 --> 00:07:29.138
  • But if you've ever had that experience, you know, you can
  • 00:07:29.138 --> 00:07:31.440
  • Make that decision.
  • 00:07:31.440 --> 00:07:32.775
  • You may be successful in it.
  • 00:07:32.775 --> 00:07:34.744
  • But that decision doesn't quench your desire for nicotine.
  • 00:07:34.744 --> 00:07:38.047
  • It's something you battle with for weeks, for months, perhaps
  • 00:07:38.047 --> 00:07:41.417
  • For the rest of your life.
  • 00:07:41.417 --> 00:07:43.519
  • Do you remember the late corrie ten boom, who wrote the book,
  • 00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.189
  • "the hiding place"?
  • 00:07:47.189 --> 00:07:49.125
  • She writes about having difficulty continuing to
  • 00:07:49.125 --> 00:07:55.264
  • Remember what a nazi soldier had done to her in the concentration
  • 00:07:55.264 --> 00:07:59.969
  • Camp at ravensbruck, how he had mistreated corrie and her
  • 00:07:59.969 --> 00:08:04.373
  • Sister, betsy.
  • 00:08:04.373 --> 00:08:06.409
  • And for several weeks, she struggled because she couldn't
  • 00:08:06.409 --> 00:08:09.378
  • Forget this, and she was afraid that it meant she had not
  • 00:08:09.378 --> 00:08:13.249
  • Forgiven the soldier.
  • 00:08:13.249 --> 00:08:14.951
  • She writes, "god's help came to me in the form of a kindly
  • 00:08:14.951 --> 00:08:19.589
  • Lutheran pastor, to whom i confessed my failure after two
  • 00:08:19.589 --> 00:08:24.260
  • Sleepless weeks.
  • 00:08:24.260 --> 00:08:26.162
  • He said, ‘up in that church tower,' and he pointed to the
  • 00:08:26.162 --> 00:08:29.565
  • Church tower, ‘is a bell, which is run by a sexton pulling on
  • 00:08:29.565 --> 00:08:34.604
  • The rope.
  • 00:08:34.604 --> 00:08:36.038
  • The bell keeps on ringing, even after the sexton has let go of
  • 00:08:36.038 --> 00:08:41.544
  • The rope.
  • 00:08:41.544 --> 00:08:42.878
  • First ding, then dong, slower and slower, until there's a
  • 00:08:42.878 --> 00:08:46.816
  • Final dong, and it finally stops.
  • 00:08:46.816 --> 00:08:50.419
  • I believe the same things are true of forgiveness.
  • 00:08:50.419 --> 00:08:53.689
  • When we forgive, we take our hand off the rope.
  • 00:08:53.689 --> 00:08:57.793
  • But if we've been tugging at our grievances for a long time, we
  • 00:08:57.793 --> 00:09:02.765
  • Shouldn't be surprised if the old angry thoughts keep coming
  • 00:09:02.765 --> 00:09:06.068
  • For a while.
  • 00:09:06.068 --> 00:09:07.403
  • They're just the ding-dongs of the old bell slowing down.'"
  • 00:09:07.403 --> 00:09:12.341
  • And so, corrie said, "it proved to be true.
  • 00:09:12.341 --> 00:09:14.910
  • There were a few more midnight reverberations, a couple of
  • 00:09:14.910 --> 00:09:18.781
  • Dings when the subject came up in my conversations, but they
  • 00:09:18.781 --> 00:09:22.351
  • Came less and less often, and at last, they stopped altogether.
  • 00:09:22.351 --> 00:09:27.256
  • And so i discovered another secret of forgiveness.
  • 00:09:27.256 --> 00:09:30.359
  • We can trust god, not only above our emotions, but also above
  • 00:09:30.359 --> 00:09:35.765
  • Our thoughts."
  • 00:09:35.765 --> 00:09:37.700
  • Isn't that great?
  • 00:09:37.700 --> 00:09:39.635
  • Maybe those ding-dongs will stop in your life.
  • 00:09:39.635 --> 00:09:44.173
  • Maybe they will never stop, but don't miss the point.
  • 00:09:44.173 --> 00:09:47.576
  • Forgiveness is a continual decision.
  • 00:09:47.576 --> 00:09:49.979
  • That's why, when peter said, "lord, how many times shall
  • 00:09:49.979 --> 00:09:52.715
  • We forgive?
  • 00:09:52.715 --> 00:09:54.050
  • Seven times?"
  • 00:09:54.050 --> 00:09:55.418
  • Jesus actually said, "no, 70 times 7."
  • 00:09:55.418 --> 00:09:58.821
  • Forgiveness is not a one-time act.
  • 00:09:58.821 --> 00:10:01.991
  • A third mistake people make and they're thinking about
  • 00:10:01.991 --> 00:10:04.727
  • Forgiveness is that forgiveness is synonymous
  • 00:10:04.727 --> 00:10:08.431
  • With forgetting.
  • 00:10:08.431 --> 00:10:09.965
  • It is synonymous with forgetting.
  • 00:10:09.965 --> 00:10:11.634
  • We talk about forgive and forget, as if they're the
  • 00:10:11.634 --> 00:10:15.004
  • Same thing.
  • 00:10:15.004 --> 00:10:16.372
  • People think, "if i haven't forgotten, then i
  • 00:10:16.372 --> 00:10:18.240
  • Haven't forgiven."
  • 00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:20.576
  • But the two are not the same.
  • 00:10:20.576 --> 00:10:22.878
  • Remember this, forgetting is a
  • 00:10:22.878 --> 00:10:25.881
  • Biological function.
  • 00:10:25.881 --> 00:10:28.050
  • The reason we forget more and more things, where we put the
  • 00:10:28.050 --> 00:10:31.220
  • Keys and so forth, is our brain grows older and older, and
  • 00:10:31.220 --> 00:10:34.657
  • Things don't fire on all the cylinders like they ought to.
  • 00:10:34.657 --> 00:10:38.127
  • Forgetting is a biological function.
  • 00:10:38.127 --> 00:10:40.863
  • Forgiveness is a spiritual function.
  • 00:10:40.863 --> 00:10:44.734
  • But we shouldn't think that we've got the ability to forget.
  • 00:10:44.734 --> 00:10:48.738
  • We can't forget, and sometimes, when we equate forgiveness with
  • 00:10:48.738 --> 00:10:52.641
  • Forgetting, we think if we can just dismiss something, play
  • 00:10:52.641 --> 00:10:56.512
  • Like it never happened, that's the same as forgiving.
  • 00:10:56.512 --> 00:11:00.015
  • It's not.
  • 00:11:00.015 --> 00:11:01.383
  • In fact, trying to prematurely dismiss or forgive--or forget
  • 00:11:01.383 --> 00:11:07.556
  • Those things done to us can actually short-circuit and
  • 00:11:07.556 --> 00:11:11.694
  • Shortcut the forgiveness process.
  • 00:11:11.694 --> 00:11:14.263
  • Let me illustrate what i mean for you by that, how just
  • 00:11:14.263 --> 00:11:17.433
  • Dismissing something can actually be a hindrance in truly
  • 00:11:17.433 --> 00:11:20.970
  • Forgiving another person.
  • 00:11:20.970 --> 00:11:23.305
  • Two years after amy and i were married, in 1979, we decided to
  • 00:11:23.305 --> 00:11:28.277
  • Buy our first house out in garland, texas.
  • 00:11:28.277 --> 00:11:32.014
  • You remember what interest rates were like in 1979?
  • 00:11:32.014 --> 00:11:35.951
  • The interest rates were 13% on a mortgage, and they would head to
  • 00:11:35.951 --> 00:11:40.623
  • Eventually 18% in 1981, but they were 13%.
  • 00:11:40.623 --> 00:11:46.061
  • And so our real estate agent said, "you know, if you've got a
  • 00:11:46.061 --> 00:11:48.597
  • Family member or somebody who cares about you, maybe you could
  • 00:11:48.597 --> 00:11:51.867
  • Get a second mortgage at a lower rate."
  • 00:11:51.867 --> 00:11:54.904
  • And so i asked my grandfather if he would give us a second
  • 00:11:54.904 --> 00:11:58.541
  • Mortgage, and he said, "yes, and i'll make you a bargain deal,
  • 00:11:58.541 --> 00:12:02.378
  • 9% interest."
  • 00:12:02.378 --> 00:12:05.080
  • And that was a great thing back when interest rates were
  • 00:12:05.080 --> 00:12:07.516
  • 13%, 9%.
  • 00:12:07.516 --> 00:12:08.884
  • So we signed a note with him, and we started making our
  • 00:12:08.884 --> 00:12:12.388
  • Payments every month, and we made those payments for eight
  • 00:12:12.388 --> 00:12:15.090
  • Years, and one day, he said, "robert, you don't need to send
  • 00:12:15.090 --> 00:12:18.294
  • Me any more money.
  • 00:12:18.294 --> 00:12:19.829
  • I'll just forgive the note."
  • 00:12:19.829 --> 00:12:21.997
  • Well, he died a few years later, and amy and i decided to sell
  • 00:12:21.997 --> 00:12:25.935
  • The house.
  • 00:12:25.935 --> 00:12:27.269
  • One big problem, we found out there was not a clear title to
  • 00:12:27.269 --> 00:12:30.773
  • The house.
  • 00:12:30.773 --> 00:12:32.141
  • We couldn't convey it to the buyer.
  • 00:12:32.141 --> 00:12:34.043
  • Why?
  • 00:12:34.043 --> 00:12:35.411
  • Because even though my grandfather had great
  • 00:12:35.411 --> 00:12:36.779
  • Intentions, he had in his mind forgiven the note, he didn't go
  • 00:12:36.779 --> 00:12:40.950
  • Through the proper procedure to have a clear title on
  • 00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:44.687
  • Our property.
  • 00:12:44.687 --> 00:12:46.055
  • And that's why i say just simply dismissing something may cause
  • 00:12:46.055 --> 00:12:50.192
  • You to short circuit the actual steps you need to go through in
  • 00:12:50.192 --> 00:12:55.030
  • Forgiving another person.
  • 00:12:55.030 --> 00:12:56.799
  • Forgiveness is a process.
  • 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:59.134
  • What kind of steps are you talking about?
  • 00:12:59.134 --> 00:13:01.403
  • Well, first of all, i put it on your outline, you have to admit
  • 00:13:01.403 --> 00:13:05.307
  • That you've been wrong.
  • 00:13:05.307 --> 00:13:06.976
  • If you're gonna forgive somebody, you, first of all,
  • 00:13:06.976 --> 00:13:09.078
  • Have to acknowledge that they have wronged you.
  • 00:13:09.078 --> 00:13:11.947
  • Secondly, you have to acknowledge that your offender
  • 00:13:11.947 --> 00:13:15.150
  • Owes you for his transgression.
  • 00:13:15.150 --> 00:13:18.087
  • You need to calculate what it is that somebody owes you.
  • 00:13:18.087 --> 00:13:21.724
  • I tell people who are trying to forgive, "don't only admit that
  • 00:13:21.724 --> 00:13:25.194
  • You've been wrong.
  • 00:13:25.194 --> 00:13:26.562
  • Calculate the cost."
  • 00:13:26.562 --> 00:13:27.897
  • Maybe that other person deserves a divorce.
  • 00:13:27.897 --> 00:13:32.935
  • Maybe they deserve imprisonment.
  • 00:13:32.935 --> 00:13:35.938
  • Maybe they even deserve the death penalty, but you can't
  • 00:13:35.938 --> 00:13:39.441
  • Forgive a debt until you calculate what that debt is.
  • 00:13:39.441 --> 00:13:43.379
  • And then thirdly, forgiveness is the decision to release your
  • 00:13:43.379 --> 00:13:47.783
  • Offender of his debt to you.
  • 00:13:47.783 --> 00:13:51.253
  • If you don't go through this process, then you'll never reap
  • 00:13:51.253 --> 00:13:54.757
  • The benefits of truly forgiving another person.
  • 00:13:54.757 --> 00:13:57.760
  • We'll see a great biblical illustration of that in just
  • 00:13:57.760 --> 00:14:00.329
  • A moment.
  • 00:14:00.329 --> 00:14:01.664
  • A fourth fallacy people have about forgiveness is the belief
  • 00:14:01.664 --> 00:14:06.135
  • That forgiveness requires reunion.
  • 00:14:06.135 --> 00:14:10.606
  • In other words, if a wife is being physically abused by her
  • 00:14:10.606 --> 00:14:15.277
  • Husband, but she is required to forgive him, that means she has
  • 00:14:15.277 --> 00:14:20.182
  • To go back and live under the same roof as he does and subject
  • 00:14:20.182 --> 00:14:23.852
  • Herself to that same punishment.
  • 00:14:23.852 --> 00:14:26.455
  • If you forgive a cheating mate, that means you have to
  • 00:14:26.455 --> 00:14:29.925
  • Just overlook any future infidelities
  • 00:14:29.925 --> 00:14:33.262
  • In your relationship.
  • 00:14:33.262 --> 00:14:35.431
  • If you decide to hire back an employee who has
  • 00:14:35.431 --> 00:14:41.770
  • Embezzled money from you, if you forgive them that means you
  • 00:14:41.770 --> 00:14:46.375
  • Have to keep them employed even if they show
  • 00:14:46.375 --> 00:14:49.511
  • No restitution whatsoever.
  • 00:14:49.511 --> 00:14:51.780
  • None of those things is true.
  • 00:14:51.780 --> 00:14:53.749
  • You can forgive somebody without being reunited with them.
  • 00:14:53.749 --> 00:14:58.187
  • In fact, one reason some of you right now are having a hard time
  • 00:14:58.187 --> 00:15:02.658
  • Forgiving somebody is because you're confusing
  • 00:15:02.658 --> 00:15:06.328
  • Forgiveness with reunion.
  • 00:15:06.328 --> 00:15:08.931
  • You think you're going to be forced to go back
  • 00:15:08.931 --> 00:15:10.966
  • In a relationship with them.
  • 00:15:10.966 --> 00:15:12.301
  • There's a difference between forgiveness and reunion.
  • 00:15:12.301 --> 00:15:15.371
  • I believe these four fallacies about forgiveness keep many
  • 00:15:15.371 --> 00:15:19.508
  • People from forgiving.
  • 00:15:19.508 --> 00:15:21.010
  • You know who illustrates probably better than anyone in
  • 00:15:21.010 --> 00:15:23.779
  • The old testament those principles of forgiveness is
  • 00:15:23.779 --> 00:15:27.449
  • That character, joseph.
  • 00:15:27.449 --> 00:15:28.784
  • Now we've did a long study on joseph.
  • 00:15:28.784 --> 00:15:31.220
  • I'm not gonna rehash the story.
  • 00:15:31.220 --> 00:15:32.921
  • Just remember the basics.
  • 00:15:32.921 --> 00:15:34.490
  • He was one of the 12 sons of jacob.
  • 00:15:34.490 --> 00:15:36.959
  • He was the favorite son.
  • 00:15:36.959 --> 00:15:38.494
  • Because of that, his brothers were jealous.
  • 00:15:38.494 --> 00:15:40.496
  • They threw him into a pit to have him sold as a slave.
  • 00:15:40.496 --> 00:15:43.966
  • They left him for being dead, but god used that great betrayal
  • 00:15:43.966 --> 00:15:49.505
  • To put joseph exactly where god wanted him to be, in egypt, as
  • 00:15:49.505 --> 00:15:53.942
  • Pharaoh's right-hand man.
  • 00:15:53.942 --> 00:15:56.078
  • And because of joseph's prominence, he was able to
  • 00:15:56.078 --> 00:16:00.582
  • Devise that plan to save not just egypt but the entire world
  • 00:16:00.582 --> 00:16:04.753
  • From the famine by setting aside part of the grain for the time
  • 00:16:04.753 --> 00:16:08.424
  • Of famine, and it was a famine that would cause joseph's
  • 00:16:08.424 --> 00:16:12.127
  • Brothers, who had forgotten about him, to have to come to
  • 00:16:12.127 --> 00:16:15.030
  • Egypt to buy the grain.
  • 00:16:15.030 --> 00:16:16.398
  • Little did they know they would be making their appeal to the
  • 00:16:16.398 --> 00:16:19.768
  • Very brother whom they thought they had killed.
  • 00:16:19.768 --> 00:16:23.272
  • And we've got this remarkable scene in genesis 50.
  • 00:16:23.272 --> 00:16:27.076
  • The brothers were there.
  • 00:16:27.076 --> 00:16:28.410
  • Joseph reveals himself to his brothers.
  • 00:16:28.410 --> 00:16:30.846
  • They're scared to death.
  • 00:16:30.846 --> 00:16:32.681
  • "joseph said to them, ‘do not be afraid, for am i not in
  • 00:16:32.681 --> 00:16:36.285
  • God's place?
  • 00:16:36.285 --> 00:16:37.619
  • As for you, you meant evil against me, but god meant it for
  • 00:16:37.619 --> 00:16:41.523
  • Good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve
  • 00:16:41.523 --> 00:16:45.327
  • Many people alive.
  • 00:16:45.327 --> 00:16:46.862
  • So therefore, do not be afraid; i will provide for you and your
  • 00:16:46.862 --> 00:16:51.834
  • Little ones.'"
  • 00:16:51.834 --> 00:16:53.368
  • Notice the three steps of genuine forgiveness
  • 00:16:53.368 --> 00:16:56.939
  • That joseph illustrates.
  • 00:16:56.939 --> 00:16:58.707
  • First of all, genuine forgiveness admits you have
  • 00:16:58.707 --> 00:17:02.611
  • Been wronged.
  • 00:17:02.611 --> 00:17:03.979
  • Joseph didn't say to his brothers, "oh brothers, let's
  • 00:17:03.979 --> 00:17:06.482
  • Just forget what happened to you and what you did to me.
  • 00:17:06.482 --> 00:17:09.651
  • You must have just been having a bad day.
  • 00:17:09.651 --> 00:17:11.854
  • We'll forgive and forget."
  • 00:17:11.854 --> 00:17:13.622
  • No, he's very honest with them.
  • 00:17:13.622 --> 00:17:15.124
  • He said, "you meant it for evil.
  • 00:17:15.124 --> 00:17:18.427
  • What you did was wrong."
  • 00:17:18.427 --> 00:17:21.330
  • Remember this, you cannot forgive people you're not
  • 00:17:21.330 --> 00:17:24.733
  • Willing to blame.
  • 00:17:24.733 --> 00:17:26.468
  • You have to blame people before you can forgive them.
  • 00:17:26.468 --> 00:17:29.805
  • You don't have to sugarcoat anything.
  • 00:17:29.805 --> 00:17:32.074
  • Joseph's brother said, "you meant it for evil."
  • 00:17:32.074 --> 00:17:35.177
  • Genuine forgiveness admits you have been wronged.
  • 00:17:35.177 --> 00:17:38.113
  • Secondly, genuine forgiveness acknowledges a debt is owed.
  • 00:17:38.113 --> 00:17:43.352
  • When joseph said, "do not be afraid," he was basically
  • 00:17:43.352 --> 00:17:47.389
  • Saying, "you have every right to be afraid.
  • 00:17:47.389 --> 00:17:49.158
  • I'm the big cheese now here in egypt.
  • 00:17:49.158 --> 00:17:51.727
  • I could have you executed if i wanted to.
  • 00:17:51.727 --> 00:17:54.463
  • You have every right to be afraid."
  • 00:17:54.463 --> 00:17:57.032
  • Genuine forgiveness acknowledges a debt is owed.
  • 00:17:57.032 --> 00:18:01.003
  • Again, you have to calculate what that other person deserves
  • 00:18:01.003 --> 00:18:04.406
  • Before you release them of those consequences.
  • 00:18:04.406 --> 00:18:07.209
  • And thirdly, genuine forgiveness releases your offender of
  • 00:18:07.209 --> 00:18:12.014
  • Their debt.
  • 00:18:12.014 --> 00:18:13.615
  • It releases them of your debt.
  • 00:18:13.615 --> 00:18:15.083
  • When joseph said, "you don't need to be afraid.
  • 00:18:15.083 --> 00:18:17.719
  • I'm not going to kill you, but instead i'm going to give you
  • 00:18:17.719 --> 00:18:21.323
  • What you don't deserve, the choicest land of egypt, the land
  • 00:18:21.323 --> 00:18:24.726
  • Of goshen," he was demonstrating that he had released them of
  • 00:18:24.726 --> 00:18:28.597
  • Their debt.
  • 00:18:28.597 --> 00:18:29.932
  • Now, when you forgive somebody, you release them of your right
  • 00:18:29.932 --> 00:18:34.403
  • To hurt them for hurting you.
  • 00:18:34.403 --> 00:18:36.171
  • Doesn't mean you give up your desire for justice.
  • 00:18:36.171 --> 00:18:38.807
  • God, the government, somebody else may want to deal with them,
  • 00:18:38.807 --> 00:18:41.777
  • But you're surrendering your right to seek vengeance
  • 00:18:41.777 --> 00:18:45.180
  • Against them.
  • 00:18:45.180 --> 00:18:46.648
  • You know, this is such a remarkable story.
  • 00:18:46.648 --> 00:18:49.818
  • I've often wondered how did joseph conjure up
  • 00:18:49.818 --> 00:18:56.391
  • That forgiveness?
  • 00:18:56.391 --> 00:18:58.493
  • I think part of it's telling in what joseph said in his
  • 00:18:58.493 --> 00:19:02.197
  • First conversation with his brothers in genesis 45, he said,
  • 00:19:02.197 --> 00:19:07.269
  • "do not be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me
  • 00:19:07.269 --> 00:19:10.839
  • Here, for god sent me before you to preserve life.
  • 00:19:10.839 --> 00:19:13.942
  • God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in
  • 00:19:13.942 --> 00:19:17.412
  • The earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.
  • 00:19:17.412 --> 00:19:20.682
  • Now, for, it was not you who sent me here, but god," hear
  • 00:19:20.682 --> 00:19:24.553
  • That over and over again, you did this but god but god but
  • 00:19:24.553 --> 00:19:27.623
  • God, “it was not you who sent me here, but god; and he has made
  • 00:19:27.623 --> 00:19:31.760
  • Me a father to pharaoh and lord of all of his household, and
  • 00:19:31.760 --> 00:19:34.863
  • Ruler over all the land of egypt.”
  • 00:19:34.863 --> 00:19:38.667
  • Joseph was able to see the hand of god in these offenses.
  • 00:19:38.667 --> 00:19:43.472
  • Joseph believed in a god who was bigger than the ones who had
  • 00:19:43.472 --> 00:19:48.043
  • Hurt him.
  • 00:19:48.043 --> 00:19:49.478
  • And ladies and gentlemen, you will never be able to forgive,
  • 00:19:49.478 --> 00:19:53.015
  • Truly forgive, until you come to the conclusion that god is
  • 00:19:53.015 --> 00:19:56.785
  • Bigger than your offender.
  • 00:19:56.785 --> 00:19:59.087
  • God can take the worst things that have happened to you and
  • 00:19:59.087 --> 00:20:03.258
  • Use them for his good and his glory.
  • 00:20:03.258 --> 00:20:06.862
  • That's the key to forgiveness.
  • 00:20:06.862 --> 00:20:09.364
  • I think part of that was joseph was able to see how god was able
  • 00:20:09.364 --> 00:20:13.869
  • To work through those injustices.
  • 00:20:13.869 --> 00:20:16.004
  • Little did he know how that would ultimately play out.
  • 00:20:16.004 --> 00:20:20.275
  • I mean, we're still feeling the reverberations of his decision
  • 00:20:20.275 --> 00:20:23.745
  • To forgive.
  • 00:20:23.745 --> 00:20:25.080
  • I mean, think about it.
  • 00:20:25.080 --> 00:20:26.415
  • If he hadn't forgiven his brothers and said, "no, you
  • 00:20:26.415 --> 00:20:28.617
  • Can't have any grain," what would have happened?
  • 00:20:28.617 --> 00:20:31.853
  • The brothers would have starved to death.
  • 00:20:31.853 --> 00:20:34.089
  • If the brothers had starved to death, they were the nucleus of
  • 00:20:34.089 --> 00:20:37.492
  • The nation of israel.
  • 00:20:37.492 --> 00:20:38.860
  • If there had been no grain, there would have been
  • 00:20:38.860 --> 00:20:40.696
  • No brothers.
  • 00:20:40.696 --> 00:20:42.030
  • If there'd been no brothers, there had been no israel.
  • 00:20:42.030 --> 00:20:43.398
  • If there were no israel, there would be no messiah.
  • 00:20:43.398 --> 00:20:46.034
  • If there was no messiah who had to come from israel, there would
  • 00:20:46.034 --> 00:20:49.104
  • Have been no salvation, and you and i today would be dead in our
  • 00:20:49.104 --> 00:20:52.474
  • Trespasses and sins.
  • 00:20:52.474 --> 00:20:54.810
  • We are saved today, when you think about it, because of one
  • 00:20:54.810 --> 00:20:59.181
  • Man's choice to forgive.
  • 00:20:59.181 --> 00:21:03.018
  • I think that was his main motivation, but i think there's
  • 00:21:03.018 --> 00:21:06.521
  • Another secret to it.
  • 00:21:06.521 --> 00:21:08.323
  • It's found in genesis 45:2, "when he first saw the
  • 00:21:08.323 --> 00:21:11.560
  • Brothers,” the bible said, “he wept so loudly that the
  • 00:21:11.560 --> 00:21:14.996
  • Egyptians heard it, and the household of pharaoh heard of it
  • 00:21:14.996 --> 00:21:18.867
  • As well."
  • 00:21:18.867 --> 00:21:21.403
  • Joseph knew what it was like to be a prisoner.
  • 00:21:21.403 --> 00:21:23.605
  • He had been unfairly in prison for the rape of potiphar's wife.
  • 00:21:23.605 --> 00:21:28.744
  • He knew the exhilaration that came from being freed finally
  • 00:21:28.744 --> 00:21:32.447
  • From that prison, but he was still a prisoner of hurt.
  • 00:21:32.447 --> 00:21:37.719
  • I think of bitterness as the years unfolded, as he thought
  • 00:21:37.719 --> 00:21:42.190
  • About his brothers and what they had done to him, and tired of
  • 00:21:42.190 --> 00:21:46.862
  • That bitterness, tired of those regrets, he made that decision
  • 00:21:46.862 --> 00:21:50.999
  • To forgive.
  • 00:21:50.999 --> 00:21:53.268
  • Are you ready to be freed from that prison of regrets?
  • 00:21:53.268 --> 00:21:59.274
  • Are you tired of being shackled to that person who hurt you
  • 00:21:59.274 --> 00:22:03.011
  • Maybe many years ago?
  • 00:22:03.011 --> 00:22:06.214
  • Forgiveness is the key that will set you free to live the life
  • 00:22:06.214 --> 00:22:11.153
  • God has planned for you.
  • 00:22:11.153 --> 00:22:13.989
  • Lewis smedes says it best when he says, "when we forgive, we
  • 00:22:13.989 --> 00:22:19.828
  • Set the prisoner free, and the prisoner we set free is us."
  • 00:22:19.828 --> 00:22:27.736
  • Jeffress: let's allow that question to linger
  • 00:22:31.673 --> 00:22:33.675
  • In our minds for a moment.
  • 00:22:33.675 --> 00:22:35.644
  • Are you ready to be freed from the prison of regrets?
  • 00:22:35.644 --> 00:22:39.147
  • I certainly hope so.
  • 00:22:39.147 --> 00:22:41.283
  • Well, every time i watch the news or read the latest
  • 00:22:41.283 --> 00:22:44.119
  • Headlines, i'm reminded that our nation and world are spinning
  • 00:22:44.119 --> 00:22:47.756
  • Out of control, or so it seems.
  • 00:22:47.756 --> 00:22:50.759
  • People have lost their confidence in human leadership,
  • 00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:54.362
  • And they're becoming distracted by every whim of this world.
  • 00:22:54.362 --> 00:22:58.567
  • But here's the good news, jesus christ is still in control.
  • 00:22:58.567 --> 00:23:03.038
