Si No Puedes Perdonar a Quien Te Hirió, Dios Te Dice Esto — El Griego | Charles Spurgeon

There are wounds that time cannot heal. Someone betrayed you, abandoned you, committed an injustice that tore your family apart—and even though years, or decades, have passed, it still hurts. And something inside you refuses to forgive, because you feel that forgiving would mean saying it was okay, letting them get away with it. But the original Greek reveals that forgiveness means nothing of the sort. The word Jesus used is aphiemi: to release, to let go, to let go. And here is the key: the one who remains imprisoned when you don't forgive is not the one who hurt you—it's you. Resentment is a chain that binds you. In this in-depth study, you will discover four truths that help you let go: what forgiveness truly means (and what it does NOT mean), why someone forgiven by God can forgive others (the parable of the unforgiving servant), the liberating difference between forgiving and reconciling, and why letting go of revenge does not leave injustice unpunished, but rather transfers it to the one perfectly just Judge. You don't have to drag that chain through the end of your life. Is there someone you haven't been able to forgive?
