- Elizabeth B. Barnes was SEBTS Assistant Professor of Theology. Barnes is announced as Chapel speaker (0:00-0:08). A hymn is played (0:09-4:18). The choir sings a song of worship (4:19-7:09). A hymn is played (cut) followed by a word of prayer (7:10-8:51). There is Scripture reading from Psalm 51:1-2, Matthew 18:21-22, and Colossians 3:12-15a (8:52-10:30). A soloist sings (10:31-15:57). Psalm 1:10-12 is the day’s words of assurance (15:58-16:49). Barnes focuses on forgiveness as the greatest form of love (16:50-17:52). She speaks of the theme of forgiveness in John Steinbeck’s East of Eden (17:53-20:20). We can only forgive truly when we understand God’s forgiveness and receive His forgiveness (20:21-20:41). Barnes discusses five characteristics of God’s forgiveness: it is genuine, social, extravagant, restorative, and receptive (20:42-21:20). First, God forgives us for genuine injuries against Him and others, and He forgives completely (21:21-22:22). Second, God’s forgiveness is social as it is for all people, and we are to mimic this forgiveness to others as well (22:23-24:38). Third, God forgives extravagantly just as the father did to his son in the parable of the prodigal son (24:39-26:13). Fourth, God’s forgiveness restores people through the resurrected Christ by making them His new sons and daughters (26:14-27:27). Fifth, God’s forgiveness is receptive: just as we receive His forgiveness, He receives our acceptance to His call to ministry (27:28-30:34). Barnes returns to East of Eden to explain that “the forgiven is dialogically related to the forgiver” (30:35-32:10). She conveys that both the forgiven and the forgiver receive something in return when these five characteristics of forgiveness, which represent God’s love and our love for one another, are displayed (32:11-32:46). The choir sings another song of worship (32:47-36:39). The congregation is told to go with their “words made holy” (36:40-36:51).
