Lesson 6 | Who are We? | See Beneath

Feb 16, 2020    Melissa Frye

The hour of the crucifixion brings with it the single greatest example of empathy and restorative connection to other humans. Jesus’ response, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do…”, assures us that the work required for healthy relationships with each other is of critical importance as those living into God’s mission for redeeming the world back to Him. It’s not a way for us to participate with God, it’s the way that we are wired for participating with Him. In this final lesson of the Wired for Connection series we’ll be reminded of our charge as Christ’s body as we learn how Jesus “saw beneath” in the lives of those around Him in His darkest hour. We’ll join Him in the truth of His resurrection, as we’re invited to consider if forgiveness and reconciliation is even possible without empathy?
