A sermon on John 20:21-23.  Is Jesus really giving us the authority to forgive people’s sins or refuse to forgive them?  It matters who Jesus spoke these words to.  What is this “forgiving” or “refusing to forgive” we are called to? What is the Christian mission?  The overall teaching of scripture.  The example of those who received the command.

Matthew 7:15-23, Luke 24:44-49, Acts 8:9-25
