Descrizione
Bitterness is a self-inflicted wound. By choosing not to forgive, we voluntarily sentence ourselves to diminished, pain-filled lives. Why would anyone do such a thing? Because forgiveness seems an inappropriate response to offense. Painful, personal wounds cry out for justice.
But what if justice is not possible? Or if it doesn't undo the damage done? In this DVD series of lessons and companion study guide, noted pastor and author Erwin Lutzer carefully illustrates how it is possible to right the wrongs of your life. Whether you've been wronged--or have wronged others--he makes it possible to experience the freedom of forgiveness and the restoration of a clear conscience.

INTRODUCTION
THIS STUDY GUIDE is to be used with the book and DVD series, both of which are titled When You’ve Been Wronged by Dr. Erwin Lutzer (available from Moody Publishers).
This guide is intended for both the group leader and also for the participants who wish to read the relevant sections of the book and respond to the DVD presentations.
Although the content of the book and the DVD series are essentially the same, there are some differences in the order the material is presented. For this reason, each set of study questions begins by giving specific information as to what parts of the book should be read in preparation for the DVD lecture and the questions to follow.
Simply read the section in the When You’ve Been Wronged book that is labeled please read, and you will be prepared for both the lecture and the questions below.
DVD Session One
WHEN YOU
RECEIVE
AN OFFENSE
In preparation for these discussion questions and the DVD lecture, please read:
Chapter 1, Satan’s Mixed Bag of Offenses
Chapter 2, The Blinding Power of an Offense
From the Author
WHEN AN OFFENSE festers in our hearts, we cannot confine it within our souls. Instead, it spills over in ways we don’t even realize. It’s like burning incense in a dormitory. The smell cannot be confined; rather it escapes the dorm room and wafts down the hallway, into the washrooms, and all the way to the front door.
Just so, our bitterness spills over into other relationships no matter how determined we are to keep it confined to a single room within our soul. Nursing an offense quite literally blinds us to our own faults, forces us to have skewed relationships, and warps our self-perceptions.
Ultimately, the path to healing is to follow Christ’s example. When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly
(1 Peter 2:23). This may be a worn-out cliché but it’s true: you have to give it to God.
