Forgiveness

When the apostle Peter asked Jesus how often he had to forgive his brother, Peter said that he had already forgiven him seven times.

Jesus said that Peter wasn’t even close. He said not seven times, but seven times seventy. Jesus looked at Peter and realized he didn’t understand. So, Jesus went to the cross.

By the way, you can’t forgive until you’ve been forgiven. And then you can only forgive to the degree to which you have been forgiven. I suspect that Peter, after the cross, finally understood. Do you have trouble forgiving?

Go look at the cross, and it’ll be fixed, mostly.
