Rev. Peter Burfeind, pastor of Agnus Dei Lutheran Church in Marshall, MI & Our Savior Lutheran Church in Union City, MI joins Rev. Brady Finnern to study Matthew 18:21-35.
Forgiveness of sinners is the heartbeat of the Christian. Forgiveness is needed because there are many who are lost in their sin. Peter, on behalf of the disciples, was given the office of the keys and now asks, “How often should I use these keys?” The message is clear from Jesus’ words and the parable is that forgiveness is given as much as it is needed. We have received full forgiveness by the blood of Christ, 10,000 talents worth of sin, but yet, we struggle to forgive others for the smallest of sin. “Lord Jesus Christ, thank You for the undeserved, full forgiveness You graciously give to me. By Your power, help us to forgive others as often as You forgive us knowing that we are unworthy but in Your love You make us worthy. In Your name, Amen”
