“ Great Sermon! ” This is a wonderful sermon to help us forgive others from the heart. First, Rev. Craig makes the point that real sins produce real guilt that calls for punishment and must not be excused or ignored. Only when we acknowledge this will the cross have real meaning and value to us as a refuge from God's well-deserved wrath. If we're tempted to hold onto grudges and resentments, we should ask God for a fresh view of what it cost Him to forgive our own sins. How can we refuse to forgive when we have been forgiven so much more than we will ever have to forgive others for?
Finally, only when we know ourselves to be in God's hands and not helplessly at the mercy of our enemies can we really leave our vindication to Him and forgive as we have been forgiven. Rev. Craig uses the example of Joseph in Genesis 50 to show how God's loving providence overrules even the sins of our enemies for His glory and our good, bringing blessing out of a situation they intended for harm. God's sovereignty and the cross of Christ are a strong refuge when we have been greatly wronged, and Christ's resurrection assures us of final victory in our Savior over all injustice.
