Last week, the US government announced that they are going to forgive up to $20,000 worth of federal student loans for millions of people. 

Some people are overjoyed, but others are angry. They say, “It’s unfair. Why should their debts be forgiven when mine weren’t?”

This goes to show that forgiveness is scandalous business, especially when judged by the values of our culture. But, as a preacher friend of mine wrote on Facebook, that’s the point the Bible is making.

Forgiveness is what the Gospel is about, that’s what the Good News is. It’s how the Kingdom is made present, and how our broken world is healed and transfigured. 

Tune in to this week’s podcast to learn more about how forgiveness helps manifest the Kingdom in the here and now.

To Forgive or Not to Forgive? That Is the Question.
