Saint Athanasius Lutheran Church

Peter always takes Jesus' teaching to heart. He doesn't always understand it correctly! But he takes it to heart. So, he asks Jesus, Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times? Imagine his surprise when Jesus completely zorches that thinking. I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven. What you do comes from where your heart is. That's the Father's heart.
