Ministry of Forgiveness

The brother who sins against another

Mat 18:15 If thy brother trespass against thee, go argue with him between thee and him alone. If he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother.

Mat 18:16 But if he does not listen, take with thee one or two people, so that the testimony of two or three witnesses every word may be established.

Mat 18:17 And if he does not answer, tell it unto the church, and refuse to hear the church, treat him like a Gentile and a publican.

Mat 18:18 Verily I say unto you, whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Mat 18:19 Again I say that if two of you on earth agree about anything that they shall ask, will be granted to them by My Father in heaven.

Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I with them.

Jesus Christ makes it clear that his kingdom is not of this world, his disciples should learn the teaching of the Master, Jesus shows that the Christian sometimes has to lose for the Gospel. As Paul says, "no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me" lost or injured and forgive whatever offense.

I hear many people and even Christians who do not know what is the ministry of forgiveness. Peter did not know, was based on the law which said, 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth. He questions the teacher on one occasion about how many times the brother sin against us in the day and we had to forgive. Christ shows that all wisdom comes from Him Peter and shows that the number of times independent right to learn to forgive. The ministry of Christ's waiver was never facilities and forgiveness is something that must be learned and lived among us!

The problem is how to do this! Break from Christ's forgiveness and teaches very clearly and transfers the responsibility of the blame for the injured, harmed, slandered and humiliated. If your brother sins against you, go to him. This is a blow in our ears and pride.How can? How to enter it on the head of a spouse cheated? How to make a parent understand that, after his son was killed by a stray bullet? How can we live this ministry when we are slandered, defamed and violated our own church?

The answer is in the text, but also and above Christ teaches that we must live the ministry of forgiveness. Do what Father makes us all the time. Forgive us even knowing that he just seconds from now repeat the same mistake! When we deny forgiveness, hurts and grievances store when not release forgiveness, we are signing our own sentence. We have failed, transgressed and many more sins against the Father, ignoring Christ's sacrifice and action guidance of the Holy Spirit, transgressed and love darkness rather than Light

Verse 18 of this chapter summarizes the Christian duty to forgive and not only apologize.All that bind, forgiveness is being released?

Apologizing is something so simple, but forgiveness is what God does with us all the time, he throws the sea of ​​forgetfulness. It means that God does not bring to light our transgressions, we should do the same with our borrowers and detractors. Forgiveness is really a ministry to be exercised by his church.

Unforgiveness brings more bad consequences of what keeps the hurt, as it is a burden on your heart, anguish. The heart is not at peace, because it is refusing to live a ministry that is lived above all with love. Love is God's gift! This is the highlight of this message. If we can not forgive is a sign that we do not live Love. Paul says that love does not seek its own interest, he is kind and patient. All supports and believes all things. Love is a gift of God to exercise the ministry of forgiveness and praise without hypocrisy with truth and love.

Reconsider their positions before taken, let go of all the hurt and anguish. Long live the forgiveness that God has given you!
