April 30

Matthew 18

"Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times."

Forgiveness is not easy. To offer forgiveness to someone seven times seems very generous. However, what Jesus teaches is extraordinary generosity. He's reply to Peter's question is "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times." He teaches that we are not to even keep track of how often we forgive. We are to just keep forgiving.
