22 “No, not seven times,” Jesus replied, “but seventy times seven![j]
MATTHEW 18:21-22


“If you are trying to keep count, you’re missing the point.”


“Forgiveness is the Culture of Heaven” - Mark Driscoll 


Forgive: to release; cancel a debt
 

FORGIVENESS IS NOT: APPROVAL


FORGIVENESS IS NOT: AUTOMATIC RECONCILIATION


TRANSANCTIONAL FORGIVENESS



UNILATERAL “ONE-WAY” FORGIVENESS


Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
MATTHEW 18:21-22



In this, Jesus recognized the blindness of His enemies in His prayer. This did not excuse the guilt of those who put Jesus on the cross; but Jesus set His enemies in the best possible light in His prayer to the Father. We must pray with the same heart, after the same pattern. - GUZIK


32 Instead, be kind to each other, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God through Christ has forgiven you.
