Matthew 18:10-35
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
12 “What do you think? If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off? 13 And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off. 14 In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.
15 “If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. 16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ 17 If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
18 “Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.
19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. 20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.
23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold was brought to him. 25 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.
26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.
28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.
29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’
30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.
32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.
35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”
We are lost sheep who need to find our way home to Father God. Most of us haven't been raised right, loved right, or nourished right in the promises of God to walk through this life into our inheritances. Our angels speak to God daily, making Him aware of our every move if need be, not to mention the authority they have over our lives to keep us on the straight and narrow and into heaven. The word of God is so powerful and moving under His authority right now that when incidents, setbacks, and other misfortunes happen to us it is most of the time called on by our angels. We are not to be walking this earth barely getting by and barely getting along with each other. Joy, happiness, peace, and riches, are to be manifesting in our lives daily when we know who we live for and work for, God. God has a will that not any of us perish, being separated from Him through all eternity. We are His family and He sent His only Son down to prove it. He asks us in verse 15 if one brother sins against us, to go and tell him. We are to connect as children of God and interact as such. The world is to be operating under the laws and commandments of the bible so when complaints and disorder arises we can take our situation to the Church, then if the church cast us out because we're not lined up to scripture we really have something to think about. Whatever we bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever we loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. But we're so biblically untrained that things are flying at us from all sides of the spiritual realm that we've come undone. Peter asked how many times are we to forgive our brothers ands sisters. Jesus said seventy-seven. We bleed the same blood no matter our color. God sees us through the blood, not our color. Jesus said the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle His accounts with his servants. So the king had compassion on the man who humbled himself and worked out his matter in the supposed truth. But when that same servant did not do the same he felt the consequences from the king and the king put him in jail and tortured him until all was paid back. We are to treat each other as we want to be treated through biblical teaching so we can work out our salvation with fear and trembling. All the servants of the king were very disappointed in that servants actions towards the other servant. This means all were in favor of the kings decisions and commands. As we are to be over our King's commands and receive world peace. Brothers and sisters lets come together.
Blessings Father God as we come together as your children,
