2) The Love question: Is there a brother I won’t forgive?
       _{^{1 John 2:9-11    Luke 9:51-56  &  Mark 3:17    Matthew 18:21-35    1 Corinthians 13:1-8}}

  Those who hold onto a grudge – just don’t get it!

  They’re blind to how much they’ve been forgiven.


  They’re blind to the high cost of bitterness.


  They’re blind to what God wants.
