What Controls God? (Part 3)
In “What Controls God? (Part 3),” we explore the transformative power of forgiveness and its central role in the Kingdom of God, as depicted in Matthew 18:21-35. When Peter asked Jesus how often one should forgive a brother who sins, Jesus’ answer—“seventy-seven times”—challenged any limits to forgiveness and highlighted God’s boundless mercy. Through the parable of the unmerciful servant, Jesus illustrates the gravity of forgiveness, showing how the king’s forgiveness of an immense debt should inspire the same compassion in his servant. However, when the servant failed to show mercy to a fellow servant, he faced severe consequences. This story underscores the importance of extending the same forgiveness that God has shown us.
In Ephesians 4:32, believers are reminded to forgive one another as God in Christ has forgiven them, reinforcing the idea that forgiveness is rooted in God’s love. This love, as described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, is patient, kind, and selfless—qualities that enable us to forgive even when it feels difficult. However, we must also be aware of the spiritual consequences of withholding forgiveness. As Mark 11:25 warns, our prayers can be hindered if we do not forgive others. The call to forgive is not just a command but a reflection of the grace God has freely given to us.
Ultimately, forgiveness is a reflection of our faith and love in action. As we are forgiven much, we are called to forgive much, ensuring that love and mercy govern our relationships, as God’s love governs our hearts.
