Divide into smaller groups of three or four. Then ask one group to name a possible misunderstanding about forgiveness. If that misunderstanding matches one from the list below, the group gets one point. Then ask the next group to name a misunderstanding.
Continue until every item on this list, or nearly every one, has been named:
- Forgiveness is instantaneous or immediate.
- If you haven't forgotten what the person did to you, you haven't forgiven.
- Forgiveness means you'll be reconciled to the person who hurt you.
- If the wrongdoer has never taken responsibility for what he did, you can't forgive.
Afterward, have group members brainstorm what the Bible says about forgiveness.
