Forgiving
Matthew 18.21-35Theme: Holding on and letting go
- Week 4 of 5
Five weeks in which we consider how we help and hinder each other in our response to the gospel. Read more about the distinctive nature of Matthew’s writing about Jesus found in the central chapters of the Gospel.
Forgiving
In response to Peter’s question about how often to forgive, Jesus tells a story about a servant who did not forgive.
This week’s reading, Matthew 18.21-35, provides an opportunity to:
- relate this story to our understanding of forgiveness (AAA & CYP)
- consider both sides in the process of forgiveness (AAA & CYP)
- remember the place of forgiveness in our everyday experience. (AAA & CYP)
