Center Church

Summary
Joseph forgives his brothers for selling him into slavery, illustrating how God forgives humanity through Christ's sacrifice. The sermon teaches that forgiveness requires understanding the magnitude of one's own debt to God, staying out of the judge's seat, trusting God's sovereignty, and repaying evil with good.
Highlights
People can hurt you, but they cannot ultimately disrupt God's plan for you.
When you stand in the shadow of your hurt, forgiveness feels unfair. But when you stand in the shadow of the cross, forgiveness seems fitting.
If you struggle to forgive, you're probably forgetting that you're a sinner.
