Overview

There are people who relationally owe you. They owe you because of how they’ve treated you. You might demand something from them, or you might keep it inside and hold it against them. But that’s not being generous. Because to be generous means you release.

It’s possible to be generous with your money and not at all generous in your spirit. We’re looking now at relational generosity. And there’s a specific form of relational generosity that must characterize all Christian believers. That is forgiveness.

Let’s notice what Luke 17 teaches us here about 1) the enormity of forgiveness, 2) the practice of forgiveness, and 3) the key to forgiveness.
