Forgiveness Provides Freedom and Unity
Each believer has the responsibility to consciously make the choice to release the offender and forgive them. This mirrors the incredible forgiveness of God, who sent His Son to die on the cross, when all of mankind was dead in their sin and not even aware of their need for a Savior.

Personal Experiences Turn into Witnessing Opportunities
When people live through life-changing experiences, they often have a personal encounter or intimate realization of who Jesus Christ is and what he did on the cross. Having come through circumstances with the help of Jesus, they can become experts at sharing their personal story. And many of young witnesses for Christ have decided to live a life in service to God rather than for themselves.

Jesus and the Last Supper
At The Last Supper, Jesus knew that those sitting with him around the table would be among the first to receive forgiveness and the promise of eternal life. Despite their character flaws, Jesus knew that through them, the gospel would spread to nations around the world for generations to come.
Knowing that his disciples would make history and turn the world upside down with the Good News of the Gospel, the joy was set before Jesus, which helped him Jesus face and endure the cross.

The Courage to Follow Jesus instead of Human Heroes
Movie stars, athletes, and entertainers that appear on TV and in the tabloids are real and often thought of as heroes. But many of today's stars are troubled and some are addicted to drugs or alcohol. When they make mistakes, their embarrassing moments are caught on tape or in photographs and are seen by millions of people. Still, they are held up as models based on their ability to become famous. Yet, the true super heroes of today are rarely in the news and get very little recognition, if any.

The Importance of Discipleship
With Jesus as the model, Christians are to serve God and others. Service is the ultimate act of love. Servants of God never stop serving because of circumstances. They keep doing the will of God no matter what.

Humbled Christians are Obedient to God

Haughtiness precedes destruction, but humility leads to honor. These are promises and benefits that should discourage pride in a person, and encourage one to learn true humility.
