Glad you do. And this is this is for me. As I look at forgiveness. And I don't know what you think about when you think of forgiveness. I think oftentimes we do like what Justin was talking about as we think about forgiveness, we react instead of respond. We may say sure, I'll forgive you this time. Or we may say I forgive you. But still. Not quite at the heart. And we see here that Jesus is giving us simple instruction, very simple instruction. And I believe Peter here was as he as Jesus was telling him. In verse in verse 22 I just highlight this before we read it that we understand a little bit what's happening here. But Jesus sayeth unto him, saying unto Peter, I say unto thee, until seven times, but 70 * 7 Peter was saying here. I'll forgive seven times. That's fine. Not a problem. I can keep track of that. But Jesus turns around and throws that right back into his face and, says Peter. Not just seven times, but 70 * 7. Now you keep track of that 490 times, and I've ventured to say. You're going to lose track. And I think that was. That was Jesus point. As we look at, as we look at forgiveness, as we look at how the servant. Was forgiven? I believe Jesus's point again is. That 490 times. Is not the limit. The point is that we don't keep track. Let's read Matthew 18 starting to read in verse 21. |
