March 26th: Forgiveness is for Everyone | Carpooling with Jesus

👋 Welcome, Friends!
Whether you're on your way to school, having breakfast, or hanging out at home, I’m so glad you’re here! I’m Pastor Justin, and today we’re talking about something really important—forgiveness.

📖 Bible Verse of the Day:
"Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, ‘Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?’ Jesus answered, ‘I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.’" – Matthew 18:21-22

🌟 Big Idea:
Forgiveness isn’t about counting how many times you forgive—it’s about always being ready to forgive. Letting go of anger and choosing kindness brings peace to your heart and helps you feel lighter.

💡 Story Recap:

• Peter thought forgiving seven times was a lot—but Jesus said to forgive 77 times!
• Jesus wasn’t saying to count each time—we’re called to forgive endlessly.
• Forgiveness isn’t just about the other person—it frees your heart too.
• When you forgive, you feel lighter, happier, and more at peace.

❤️ What Would Jesus Say?
If Jesus were sitting with us, He’d say:
"Forgiveness isn’t easy, but it brings peace. Let go of anger, and I will fill your heart with kindness and joy. Just like I forgive you, I want you to forgive others too."

🏆 Asher and Tony’s Story:
Asher always picked Tony first for the team—but one day, Tony dropped the ball and the team lost. The next day, Asher didn’t pick Tony, which hurt Tony’s feelings. Tony’s mom reminded him that forgiveness is like a key that unlocks your heart. The next day, Tony forgave Asher, and they ended up having a great time together at recess. Forgiveness made them both feel better and strengthened their friendship.

🙏 Forgiveness in Our Lives:
Next time someone hurts your feelings, remember what Jesus said—forgive, forgive, and forgive again. Forgiveness brings peace to your heart and helps you treat others with kindness.
