Matthew 18:21-35

Listen to Matthew 18:21-35
21 Then Peter having come near to him, said, `Sir, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him -- till seven times?'
22 Jesus saith to him, `I do not say to thee till seven times, but till seventy times seven.
23 `Because of this was the reign of the heavens likened to a man, a king, who did will to take reckoning with his servants,
24 and he having begun to take account, there was brought near to him one debtor of a myriad of talents,
25 and he having nothing to pay, his lord did command him to be sold, and his wife, and the children, and all, whatever he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant then, having fallen down, was bowing to him, saying, Sir, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;
27 and the lord of that servant having been moved with compassion did release him, and the debt he forgave him.
28 `And, that servant having come forth, found one of his fellow-servants who was owing him an hundred denaries, and having laid hold, he took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that which thou owest.
29 His fellow-servant then, having fallen down at his feet, was calling on him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all;
30 and he would not, but having gone away, he cast him into prison, till he might pay that which was owing.
31 `And his fellow-servants having seen the things that were done, were grieved exceedingly, and having come, shewed fully to their lord all the things that were done;
32 then having called him, his lord saith to him, Evil servant! all that debt I did forgive thee, seeing thou didst call upon me,
33 did it not behove also thee to have dealt kindly with thy fellow-servant, as I also dealt kindly with thee?
34 `And having been wroth, his lord delivered him to the inquisitors, till he might pay all that was owing to him;
35 so also my heavenly Father will do to you, if ye may not forgive each one his brother from your hearts their trespasses.'

The Power of Forgiveness Part 2
The Power of Forgiveness Part 2
Jeff Johnson

We’re working our way through the gospel of Matthew.  And today we plan to cover more ground in chapter eighteen.  They’re some of the hardest words to say, “I forgive you!”  Especially after you’ve experienced great hurt.   But when you do forgive, you’re never more like Jesus, who forgave us a debt that we could never pay.  We’ll spend some time talking about the power of forgiveness and why we’re to follow in the Lord’s footsteps by forgiving others.  

The Power of Forgiveness Part 1
The Power of Forgiveness Part 1
Jeff Johnson

We’ve all been hurt by the words or actions of another.  Maybe it was an unkind word spoken on social media, or someone has lied about you or stolen from you!  When that happens we have a choice to make… will we forgive them or not!  Today on Sound Doctrine pastor Jeff Johnson approaches this sensitive subject as he begins a study in Matthew eighteen, verses twenty-one through thirty-five.  Jesus addresses the topic of forgiveness through a powerful parable.
