Saturday-Forgiveness-Be Real
This is tough!!!
Matthew 18:21-22
New International Version
The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[a]
Forgiveness is not easy, it pulls our heart out, goes against what we feel and emotions, and not popular to the world, but it’s totally trusting the cross and resurrection , the gospel.
