Biblical forgiveness is the act of letting go of a wrong committed against you. It is not the same as saying the offense did not happen or that it no longer matters. The original Greek word used in the New Testament for forgiveness is aphiēmi, which means "to release" or "to let go." This term implies a deliberate action to cancel a debt or offense.

Let us not take lightly the love of our crucified and risen Friend. His joy was not in escaping suffering, but in embracing it for our sake.
