Forgiveness at the Cross Welcome to the first meditation in our new series on forgiveness. Most of us live like forgiveness is something we’re still trying to earn. But the cross tells a different story. In this episode, we slow down and reflect on the moment Jesus spoke forgiveness from the cross—and what that means for you today. This is an invitation to lay down guilt, stop striving, and receive what has already been given.  LIKE AND SUBSCRIBEIf this episode encouraged you, please like and subscribe.
