We live in a culture that HATES forgiveness. Forgiveness gives the offender a mercy that they do not deserve. Jesus knows that forgiveness is HARD. As we consider this passage, we will see that the principle itself is clear, but the application is challenging. Matthew 6:14-15, 18:21-35

We avoid confrontation like the plague. That would involve meeting with people that we disagree with in person. That would involve looking them in the eye. That would involve a real conversation that might actually lead to real change. That’s scary. Matthew 18:15-20
