Making the Gospel Real from Kevin Ritter

Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove http://jonathanwilsonhartgrove.com lives in a “new monastic community” in Durham, NC. The group is called Rutba, named after a town in Iraq that showed Jonathan and his wife, Leah, hospitality while they were traveling there.

In an article Jonathan said:
“I’m convinced that we don’t fully comprehend the gospel until we have been forgiven for something particular, not just general forgiveness for general sins,” he says. “I had to live in community to learn the parts of my personality that hurt other people and hear them say, ‘We still love you and we’ll keep living with you.’ That made the gospel real for me.”

What particular thing has God used to show you real forgiveness and the power of the Gospel?
