Leave It With The Judge

What does forgiveness really look like in God’s Kingdom? In Matthew 18:21–35, Peter asks Jesus how many times we should forgive someone, and Jesus’ answer changes everything. Forgiveness isn’t about tally marks—it’s about living out the restoration we’ve already received in Christ.

In this teaching, we explore how Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant reveals the depth of our own forgiven debt and why we’re called to extend that same grace to others. Forgiveness means leaving the offense with the Judge and choosing restoration over resentment.

If Jesus is our King, then our behavior should reflect His heart. Join us as we learn how forgiveness is not only personal but also part of God’s greater plan to restore all things.

Big Idea: We restore others because Jesus has restored us.
