The Slavery of Unforgiveness

Helpful comments by John MacArthur on Unforgiveness:

"Unforgiveness imprisons people in their past and makes those they refuse to forgive their jailers. Those who refuse to forgive continually pick at an open wound, never allowing it to heal. Having chosen to embrace hate, they become tortured prisoners of the offense and the offender. Such behavior is foolish, lacks common sense and is self-destructive. It consumes unforgiving people’s lives, robs them of their well-being, and deprives them of happiness and joy."

— John MacArthur, Luke 11-17, MacArthur New Testament Commentary, p.42
