WHEN PAST HURTS STILL HURT
Then [Pontius Pilate]... had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified. (Matthew 27:26) (NIV)
Then [Pontius Pilate]... had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified...28 They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him, 29 and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand. Then they knelt in front of him and mocked him. “Hail, king of the Jews!” they said. 30 They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again. 31 After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him. (Matthew 27:26, 28-31) (NIV)

Not all abuse is _________________________. But all abuse is _________________________.
Abusing never makes you _______________________. It shows you’re ________________________.
You can’t _____________ and _____________ at the same time.
Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.”... (Luke 23:34) (NIV)
Your prayer for others may or may not ________________ them, but it ____________________________________________.
...be kind to each other... forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you. (Ephesians 4:32) (NLT)
After the resurrection, Jesus _____________________________.
Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering... 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. (Isaiah 53:4-5) (NIV)
