Matthew 18:21-35
-
Our brains start with the wrong presumption. Forgiveness, not punishment, is the starting place for dealing with our neighbors.
-
The problem with mercy is we don’t trust others with it. Which means, whether we like it or not, that we also don’t trust God with it.
-
This week, we wrestle with the nature of forgiveness and mercy. We do so knowing we might not want to offer it. But we can so choose to.
-
Jesus’s teachings on forgiveness aren’t just hard because we don’t want to do it. We like doing the opposite.
