Matthew : Season 8 - Week 3

 
 
 

Sermon Description:

In Matthew 18, Peter asks Jesus a critically important question: how many time should we forgive someone who has wronged us? When we are wronged, however significant or slight the wrong may be, we are often overcome by the desire for revenge. In our worst moments, we are tempted to even project the approval of God on our vengeful desire. But Jesus confronts this idea by telling a story. And in that story, we learn that our desires for vengeance, though understandable, are destructive and have no place in the Kingdom of God, that forgiveness is necessary for not only our good, but the good of those who wronged us, and that God is more interested in forgiving and changing humans than destroying them for their mistakes and sins - which is very good news for everyone, especially you and I.
