How many times should we forgive a brother? In Matthew 18:21–35, Peter asks Jesus if seven times is enough. Jesus responds with a powerful call to keep forgiving.


Through the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Jesus reminds us of the enormous debt God has forgiven us and calls us to extend that same mercy to others. We forgive as we’ve been forgiven.
