Peter asks Jesus how many times he should forgive a brother or sister who sins against him. As many as seven times? Jesus responds "Not seven times, I tell you, but seventy-seven times." (Some translators say it should be read "70 x 7" times.)
Jesus commands forgiveness of us. In the sermon tonight, we talked about the issues of forgiveness. Does it make us weak? Are we pushovers? What about questions of justice and right and wrong?
What are some of the issues you have with forgiveness? How has forgiveness affected your life? What makes you reluctant to forgive? How might you find it empowering?
