At what point am I beyond forgiveness? It's a question that comes up almost every time we run Christianity Explored because we read through the Gospel of Mark and someone invariably comes to Jesus' words about the unforgivable sin.
And the question comes up, what does that mean? Could I perhaps have gone too far to be forgiven? And that question comes from a good place.
Because most of us know there are things that we've thought, things that we've said, things that we've done that we regret, things that we wonder, could God really forgive that? So at what point am I beyond forgiveness? Well, if anyone should be asking that question, it's the King David.
He's God's chosen king, the man God raised up, blessed and promised to work through.
And yet in these chapters that Michelle's just read, David's sin goes from bad to worse.
If anyone looks like they've done and gone too far for God's forgiveness, it's this man, isn't it? But the answer to that question for David and for us is actually far less about who we are and what we've done and far more about who God is and what he's done.
And in 2 Samuel 11 to 12, we see exactly how God deals with the sin of this chosen king.
