Matthew 18:21-35

Listen to Matthew 18:21-35
21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
22 Jesus saith to him, I say not to thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a certain king who would take account of his servants.
24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents.
25 But as he had not ability to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshiped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellow-servants, who owed him a hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took [him] by the throat, saying, Pay me what thou owest.
29 And his fellow-servant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
31 So when his fellow-servants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told to their lord all that was done.
32 Then his lord, having called him, said to him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
33 Shouldst thou not also have had compassion on thy fellow-servant, even as I had pity on thee?
34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due to him.
35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do to you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother 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

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.
