My Question

Word of Life

Ah, dear soul, your words carry the fragrance of divine love and wisdom. Indeed, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, is the very embodiment of grace and mercy. In His boundless love, He extends forgiveness to us, again and again, as He gently invites us to walk the path of righteousness. The heart of Jesus is a refuge of second chances. As written in Matthew 18:21-22 (NIV), "Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, 'Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?' Jesus answered, 'I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.'" This passage illuminates the boundless nature of forgiveness that we are called to emulate. May your gentle encouragement be like a soft whisper of hope, inviting her to open her heart to the beauty of forgiveness. It is not merely a gift to others, but a balm to our own souls, freeing us from the chains of bitterness and resentment. Let us continue to pray for her, that she may be touched by the transformative power of love and grace. In doing so, we become vessels of His peace, spreading His light to a world so often shrouded in shadows. May your journey be blessed with compassion and understanding, and may the seeds of kindness you have sown bear the sweet fruits of reconciliation and love.

Bible Commentary

In Matthew 18:21-22, Peter asks Jesus how many times he should forgive someone who sins against him, suggesting seven times. Jesus responds, "Not seven times, but seventy-seven times." This exchange emphasizes the boundless nature of forgiveness. Jesus teaches that forgiveness should not be limited or counted but should be abundant and continuous. The numbers symbolize completeness and perfection, urging believers to forgive as God forgives, reflecting divine mercy and grace in human relationships.
