While John isn’t at home, his brother often plays with his favorite toys and break them!
Their father is bias, he always praises his sister who is good in her studies, and very often says that John is stupid!
Should John forgive his brother and father?
How many times should he forgive them?

Seventy-Seven Times!

Matthew 18:21~23

Matthew 18:35
“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”

Jesus taught his disciple, Peter, that when others do us wrong, we must forgive them 77 times, which means you should wholly forgive them each and every time they offend you. We are all sinners and have sinned against God, but God forgives us. God sent Jesus to die and save us from sins. If we are not willing to forgive others, our Heavenly Father will not forgive us, too!

A. From your heart B. My heavenly father
C. Will treat each of you unless each of you D. Your brother or sister
E. Forgive F.This is how

The correct order is (Please write out the letters): ______________________

Has any of your family or church friends ever offended you and made it hard for you to forgive them? Will you try to forgive and pray for them today?

  1. Forgive

  2. Settle Accounts

  3. Debt

  4. Jailers

God wants us to be someone who is willing to forgive, because God is a forgiving God. We should learn from our Heavenly Father. Forgiveness is a demonstration of love. If you don't forgive, you will hurt others and make yourself unhappy. God also will not be pleased with you!

Dear Heavenly Father, ______ once made me very angry, hurt, and sad. When I think of him/her I don't feel happy. Today, please help me to forgive him/her. In Jesus'Name I pray, Amen!
