The Math of Forgiveness: 77 x 7<\/span><\/h1>\n

How Many Times Should We Forgive?<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Have you ever felt like you’re completely done forgiving someone? It\u2019s hard when someone keeps being mean or hurtful, even after you\u2019ve tried to make peace.<\/p>\n

In this week’s comic strip, we look at a very human reaction\u2014frustration\u2014and the surprising answer Jesus gives us.<\/p>\n

The Lesson Behind the Message<\/b><\/p>\n

    \n
  • The Struggle:<\/strong> We often keep count of how many times someone hurts us or how many chances we\u2019ve given them.<\/li>\n
  • The Reminder:<\/strong> Jesus reminds us to look at the bigger picture: How many times has God forgiven us for our own mistakes? The answer is simple<\/strong>: EVERY TIME!<\/b><\/li>\n
  • The Math:<\/b> When Jesus says to forgive $77 \\times 7$<\/span> times (Matthew 18:22), He isn’t giving us a math equation to solve\u2014He means our willingness to forgive should be endless.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Takeaway for the Week<\/b><\/p>\n

    Forgiveness isn’t always easy, but keeping our hearts open allows God’s kindness and peace to work through us. Next time you feel like giving up on someone, remember the endless forgiveness shown to each of us!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

    Las matem\u00e1ticas del perd\u00f3n: 77 x 7<\/h1>\n

    \u00bfCu\u00e1ntas veces debemos perdonar?<\/h3>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    \u00bfAlguna vez has sentido que ya no puedes perdonar a nadie? Es dif\u00edcil cuando alguien sigue siendo cruel o hiriente, incluso despu\u00e9s de haber intentado hacer las paces.<\/p>\n

    En la tira c\u00f3mica de esta semana, analizamos una reacci\u00f3n muy humana: la frustraci\u00f3n, y la sorprendente respuesta que Jes\u00fas nos da.<\/p>\n

    La lecci\u00f3n detr\u00e1s del mensaje<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    • La lucha:<\/strong> A menudo contamos cu\u00e1ntas veces alguien nos hiere o cu\u00e1ntas oportunidades les hemos dado.<\/li>\n
    • El recordatorio:<\/strong> Jes\u00fas nos recuerda que miremos el panorama general: \u00bfCu\u00e1ntas veces nos ha perdonado Dios por nuestros propios errores? La respuesta es simple: \u00a1CADA VEZ!<\/li>\n
    • Las matem\u00e1ticas:<\/strong> Cuando Jes\u00fas dice que perdonemos 77 veces 7 veces (Mateo 18:22), no nos est\u00e1 dando una ecuaci\u00f3n matem\u00e1tica para resolver, sino que quiere decir que nuestra disposici\u00f3n a perdonar debe ser infinita.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Reflexi\u00f3n de la semana<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Perdonar no siempre es f\u00e1cil, pero mantener el coraz\u00f3n abierto permite que la bondad y la paz de Dios act\u00faen a trav\u00e9s de nosotros. La pr\u00f3xima vez que sientas ganas de darte por vencido con alguien, \u00a1recuerda el perd\u00f3n infinito que Dios nos ha mostrado a todos!<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Math of Forgiveness: 77 x 7 How Many Times Should We Forgive?
