Matthew 18:21-35

Matthew 18:21-35

  1. The Lord Jesus lays it down as a general rule, that we ought to forgive others to the uttermost.
  2. Our Lord supplies us with two powerful motives for exercising a forgiving spirit.
  • It is clear from this parable that one motive for forgiving others, ought to be the recollection that we all need forgiveness at God's hands ourselves.
  • Another motive for forgiving others, ought to be the recollection of the day of judgment, and the standard by which we shall all be tried in that day.

"Would we do good to the world? Would we have any influence on others, and make them see the beauty of true religion? Let us remember this passage. Men who care not for doctrines, can understand a forgiving temper."

I am married to my beautiful wife, Madelyn, and together we have 5 children, 3 of which we have the joy of parenting. I created this podcast to make the edifying writings of J.C. Ryle more accessible in a listening and devotional format.
