Jesus insisted that unless we forgive others, God won't forgive us. Is that extreme, or could we be misinterpreting him? Doesn't that make it sound like the love of God is based on something we do—and if so, how is that grace? Or is there something else going on here, something deep and profound and crucial to our grasping how love works? Something that, if grasped, would change our understanding of not just what it looks like to forgive, but also to be forgiven? This three-week series taught by Rob Bell draws largely from texts in Matthew 6, Luke 18, and Luke 24.
