In this episode of the Grace & Truth Podcast, Rev. Elizabeth Crosby and David Sears wrap up the series, “Lessons in Leadership.” This sermon looks at Matthew 18:21-35 and talks about God’s grace and the challenge of forgiveness.

It is called the 5 tests of forgiveness, and it is developed by Ron Edmonson:

  1. The first thought test (what is the first thought that comes to mind when you see that person…is it a good one?)
  2. The Opportunity to Help Test (if they were in need and called to ask you for help - what would you do?)
  3. The Positive Thoughts (Can you come up with anything good about this person… to them and others… despite what they did)
  4. The Revenge Test (Do you constantly think about getting revenge?) (This is not our job. This is God’s job!)
  5. The failure test (Do you secretly want them to fail? You don’t want them to succeed… jealousy, envy take root)

I share that because I think that test really gives us some good insight into whether we have really forgiven someone or a situation, or what we need to work on.
