Easter: The Promise of Forgiveness

Guilt has a long memory. Even when other people have moved on, we can continue rehearsing old failures, measuring ourselves against them and wondering whether God does the same.

Easter: The Promise of Forgiveness considers the answer Scripture gives. Through Christ’s death and resurrection, forgiveness is not left hanging on our ability to compensate for the past. Jesus bears sin, reconciles us to God and gives those who trust Him a new standing before the Father. The booklet spends time with what that means for identity as well as absolution: being redeemed, adopted and made new in Christ.

This resource includes:

• five Our Daily Bread reflections centred on forgiveness
• Bible readings on reconciliation, redemption and new life
• short guided studies, including Isaiah 53
• questions for reflection and prayer
• Scripture addressing guilt, confession and our identity in Christ

A shared invitation 

Our Daily Bread Ministries wants to keep placing Scripture beside the parts of life where we are inclined to hide, strive or condemn ourselves. That is one reason our resources are offered freely. If you would like to help another reader receive the same Bible-based companionship, your donation supports the ongoing creation and distribution of resources like this.
