2/15/26 - Resurrect Forgiveness, Most Certainly True

The Creed reveals the Church’s heartbeat is the forgiveness of sins, a gift which replaces our darkness with God's light and leads us to the ultimate feast of the resurrection. Questions for the Week: Most Certainly True: Resurrect Forgiveness In the Large Catechism, Luther says that all functions of the Christian community focus on the forgiveness of sins (pg. 75). Do you tend to think of church primarily as a place for forgiveness, or do you view it more as a place for learning morals, socializing, or doing good works? How does shifting the focus to forgiveness change your perspective? Read Matthew 18:21-35. In the parable, the King forgives a debt the servant could never hope to pay. If we truly realized the size of the "debt" Jesus paid for us on the cross, how would that change the way we react to the small hurts or annoyances we experience with others this week? Why is it dangerous for us to try to keep a "scorecard" of how many times we’ve forgiven someone? How does that scorecard prevent us from "walking in the light"? (See 1 John 1:5-10) Read Isaiah 25:6-9. Isaiah describes God’s kingdom as a feast of "rich food and well-aged wine." How does knowing that God's ultimate plan is a physical party (resurrection), not just a spiritual state, give you hope today?
