Today’s Repple Minute:
A Key to Living in the Kingdom of God One of the keys to unlocking the Kingdom of God in your life is forgiving those who have slandered, hurt and offended you. The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, "Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?" Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times. "Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt. "The servant fell on his knees before him. 'Be patient with me,' he begged, 'and I will pay back everything.' The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. "But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him. 'Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded. "His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.' "But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened. "Then the master called the servant in. 'You wicked servant,' he said, 'I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn't you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?' In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. "This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart." Matthew 18: 21-35 There are severe consequences for an unforgiving spirit. The master turned the servant over to the jailers to be tortured. The wrath of God (master) rains down on those who will not forgive others. You will live in jail with your thoughts which will torture you and others around you. Live today as an Ambassador in the Kingdom of God knowing you are a forgiven child of God. You can forgive others seventy-seven times because you have been forgiven. Copyright © Glenn Repple ALL RIGHTS RESERVEDA Key to Living in the Kingdom of God
