Forgive as You Have Been Forgiven: A Vital Matthew 18 Mandate

An Audio Message on MP3

By Wesley Strackbein

Those who harbor unforgiveness make a mockery when they pray the Lord’s Prayer, “forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors” (Matt. 6:12). Though there’s a time to confront a brother in sin, as Jesus explained in Matthew 18:15-20, He immediately followed this prescription by declaring to Peter that Christians forgive “seventy times seven” (v. 22), which He elaborated on in His Parable of the Unmerciful Servant (vs. 23-35). Wesley Strackbein explains ten key lessons from this sobering parable, emphasizing that, in gratitude to the great debt paid on their behalf by Christ’s great sacrifice, true Christians will be characterized by a posture of forgiveness toward those who have wronged them. Rather than demand a pound of flesh for harms done, they will show real compassion and forgive.
