In this episode, the guys chat about the following questions and ideas: 

• 0:30 - In Ephesians 4:25-32, we read the Apostle Paul’s encouragement for those who have been chosen – anointed – ‘Christ-ed’ – to forgive the sins of those around them, as God in Christ – the Anointed and Chosen One – forgave them. 
• 2:37 - For the guys, forgiveness is probably the simplest, and yet hardest thing to get right in Paul’s list of ‘bad things’ in Eph 4. But to live the resurrected life is to recognise that we, the people of God, are empowered by the life-giving Spirit to forgive others who sin, especially when it’s against us.  
• 6:25 - So what would it look like if the people of God live as forgiven people in this world? For the guys, Paul’s call to forgive as God, Imaged in Jesus, forgave us is a call fir us to forgive others not out of obligation and reciprocity  (“Oh, God has forgiven me, so I am obliged to forgive others, otherwise I am a bad Christian”), but because we too, are God’s and Jesus’ Images! We, the followers of Jesus, are called “Christians”, or Anointed Ones. We, the followers of Jesus, are called to proclaim forgiveness upon others,  Jesus did.
