Matthew 18
Peter asks the Lord how many times we should forgive? Jesus goes on to provide a mini-sermon on forgiveness. He, in essence, says that we should never not forgive. Using a parable where a man who has had a great debt forgiven refuses to forgive a small debt owed to him, Jesus points out that we are each forgiven an insurmountable debt by God. In fact, our sin is so bad that it required the sacrifice of His only begotten Son! Therefore, if we refuse to forgive anyone, we stand in danger of not being forgiven by the One that really matters! Are you harboring some infraction from another? Do you want God to do the same with you? Forgive freely, as we are forgiven freely!
