Last Wednesday in our MOPS meeting, we watched a DVD that focused on humility and forgiveness and how we impact others around us. The speaker talked a lot about the importance of community and that we participate in so many unique communities every day that are filled with all kinds of different relationships (MOPS, church, soccer, neighborhood, doctor office, etc.). She also emphasized the need for us to be humble and forgiving when we are relating to other people because communities are so vital to us as human beings.
We then discussed in our groups the example of Jesus as a humble servant and what kind of amazing forgiveness He showed to us on the cross. Are we quick to let go of minor issues or do we hold onto and simmer allowing relationships to be destroyed? Are we willing to forgive people that have offended us like Christ has forgiven us? Are we willing to humble ourselves and bear with other people's inadequacies and failures remembering that we also are grave sinners in need of a Saviour?
