Forgiveness in the Kingdom of Heaven: A question answered

After Jesus lays out his plan for dealing with sin in the church, we are confronted with the need for forgiveness. Peter asks a question that needs a better answer. In the parable that follows, Jesus shows us the way we must forgive by giving us a view of forgiveness from the perspective of heaven.

We will consider these three points from the text:
1. The context of this question.
2. Jesus’ answer to the question.
3. The lesson of the parable.
