God’s love, which is stronger than death, is causing me to continue walking the path of the mission the Lord has given me (John 6:1–15). “At that very time some Pharisees came and said to Him, ‘Leave this place and go somewhere else. Herod wants to kill You.’ He replied, ‘Go tell that fox, “I will keep driving out demons and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.” In any case, I must press on today and tomorrow and the next day—for surely no prophet can die outside Jerusalem! Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you, how often I have longed to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings, and you were not willing. Look, your house is left to you desolate. I tell you, you will not see Me again until you say, “Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord” (Luke 13:31–35). ...
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).
