32. When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride.

33. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ, my Lord
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood.

34. See, from His head, His hands, His feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down;
Did ever such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

35. Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were a present far too small;
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

50. Genesis 27-33

51. THE DIFFICULTIES OF FORGIVENESS
Genesis 27-33

52. DIFFICULTY OF SEEKING FORGIVENESS
Jacob had to go home

53. DIFFICULTY OF SEEKING Often delayed by pride, fear or neglect
Requires a recognition of God’s call

54. Matthew 5:23-24
23 Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you, 24 leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.

55. DIFFICULTY OF SEEKING Often delayed by pride, fear or neglect
Requires a recognition of God’s call
Demands evidence of penitence

56. EVIDENCE OF PENITENCE JACOB US Apologize Sent gifts Offer restitution
Change actions
Sent gifts
Bowed down
Called Esau “lord”

57. DIFFICULTY OF SEEKING Often delayed by pride, fear or neglect
Requires a recognition of God’s call
Demands evidence of penitence
The first step is the hardest: GO

58. The prodigal son had to do more than rehearse a speech –
HE HAD TO GO HOME

59. DIFFICULTY OF OFFERING FORGIVENESS
Esau had to release the past

60. DIFFICULTY OF OFFERING
Facing a past injustice is painful
Forgiveness is a beautiful act of strength
It is possible even without the penitence of the offender

61. Luke 9:54-56
54 When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, “Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?” 55 But He turned and rebuked them, [and said, “You do not know what kind of spirit you are of; 56 for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.”] And they went on to another village.

62. Luke 23:33-34
33 When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left. 34 But Jesus was saying, “Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing.” And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

64. DIFFICULTY OF ACCEPTING FORGIVENESS
Jacob had to trust Esau’s offer

65. DIFFICULTY OF ACCEPTING
Trust puts us at risk
Grace is hard to accept – pride, guilt, unworthiness
The key: Don’t forget your sin; Don’t forget your forgiveness

66. I Timothy 1:12-15
12 I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service, 13 even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; 14 and the grace of our Lord was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are found in Christ Jesus. 15 It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.

67. Genesis 33:10
10 Jacob said, “No, please, if now I have found favor in your sight, then take my present from my hand, for I see your face as one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably.
