In this week's episode, Jae brings back Pastor Freddie Cole Sr, closing off the conversation on how un-forgiveness will keep you bound, and now highlighting the benefits of forgiveness. There is a divine nature of forgiveness and it has a life changing impact on others. The command from Christ was to love and forgive portraying being made in his image. True forgiveness gives us a heightened experience of intimacy with God because of it's lightness and is commonality characteristic of holiness. While it can be a challenge, there is also healing power of forgiveness. The reward of forgiving is much greater and more satisfying than not forgiving. The act of forgiving comes with the realization that everyone deserves mercy as self does. To heal we learn to identify that we are indeed hurt, and seek true healing from the one who holds all power.
