How Many Times?

Peter and the disciples were with Jesus as He was teaching on “Forgiveness” one day. Peter thought about it, then asked Jesus a very serious question. “How many times do I have to forgive someone when they hurt me?” That is a question that most of us have wondered at times. “When can I just call it quits and stop forgiving someone for doing the same thing over and over again?” Jesus addresses this issue and answers Peter’s question, letting him know that there is no “magic number.” After all, God forgives us when we sin over and over again. Therefore, we must be willing to forgive others as well.
