The Lord's calculation method
and our calculation
method seem so different.
The
way of calculation by the Lord,
who
is the King of kings in the heavenly kingdom,
seems
so different from our own way of calculating here on earth.
Our
way of thinking is that when a brother sins against us,
we
believe we only need to forgive him up to seven times.
But
the Lord’s way of calculation is, "Not seven times,
but
seventy-seven times (or seventy times seven), you must forgive."
The
fundamental difference is
that
the Lord shows compassion for those who sin,
but
we, when someone sins against us,
lack
the heart of compassion to forgive them.
To
such people, Jesus says:
"If
you do not forgive your brother from your heart,
my
Father in heaven will also treat you in the same way"
(Ref.:
Matthew 18:21-35).
