We Should Not Keep Score
“THEN PETER CAME TO HIM AND ASKED, LORD HOW OFTEN
SHALL MY BROTHER SIN AGAINST ME, AND I FORGIVE HIM?
UP TO SEVEN TIMES? JESUS SAID TO HIM, “I DO NOT SAY
TO YOU, UP TO SEVEN TIMES, BUT UP TO SEVENTY TIMES
SEVEN.”
( MATTHEW 18:21-22 *NKJV )
Peter asked this question because the Rabbis’ taught that one
should only forgive another three times. That was based on what
was written in the Book of AMOS, Verses 1:3,6,9,11,13 & 2:1,4,6.
Now Peter was being generous when asking Jesus about
seven times, however Our Savior answered seventy times seven,
meaning that we should not even keep track of how many times
we forgive others.
