Why should you forgive other people?

Jesus gave us a very clear reason: if you don't, then God won't forgive you.

But there's another good reason: it sets a prisoner free. That prisoner is you.

This week's Bible passage: Colossians 3:11-14

This episode originally appeared at Weekly Strength 3.04: Big Topics — Forgiveness on Throwing Mountains.
