Psalm 103
I will praise the Lord.
Deep down inside me, I will praise him.
I will praise him, because his name is holy.
I will praise the Lord. I won’t forget anything he does for me.
He forgives all my sins. He heals all my sicknesses.
He saves my life from going down into the grave.
His faithful and tender love makes me feel like a king.
He satisfies me with the good things I desire.
Then I feel young and strong again, just like an eagle.
The Lord does what is right and fair
for all who are treated badly.
Matthew 18: 21 – 35
Peter came to Jesus. He asked, “Lord, how many times should I
forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but 77 times.
“The kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to collect all the
money his servants owed him. As the king began to do it, a man who
owed him 10,000 bags of gold was brought to him. The man was not
able to pay. So, the King gave an order. The man, his wife, his
children, and all he owned had to be sold to pay back what he owed.
“Then the servant fell on his knees in front of him. ‘Give me time,’ he
begged. ‘I’ll pay everything back.’ The King felt sorry for him. He
forgave him what he owed and let him go.
