January 14, 2024: The Pain of Reconciliation - Michael Hidalgo

Denver Community Church

Reconciliation is so difficult; at some point you have to admit you are wrong and work toward forgiving the person who did you wrong. For as difficult as this is, Jesus sees this as an essential part of living. The downside of this is that it can fly in the face of what we might want or even demand. It challenges all of us, whether we are those who want to be right, or those who do not want to be wrong. But Jesus is tapping into something deeper here: he points toward people who are willing to reconcile at any cost. How do we live as a people willing to reconcile always? We must begin by remembering this is what has the power to bring peace and healing.
