TALK:   Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, but, I tell you, seventy-seven  

                 times.” (Matthew 18:22)

We owe God a considerable debt, yet all has been forgiven us. How much more ought we to pardon our brothers and sisters for their relatively minor sins against us?

  • In our litigating society, how does culture view justice? How does it view forgiveness? What might happen if people practiced forgiveness over blame and the need for restitution?
  • Who stands in need of your forgiveness? What would it take to make you ready to forgive?
  • For the littles: Have you ever told someone, “I forgive you”? What did it feel like? Jesus is happy when we forgive.

PRAY: God, you have forgiven us a world of transgressions. Make us likewise gracious to those who are in debt to us, showing them the mercy which you offer to all. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

BLESS: May God grant you strength to forgive. Amen.
