下載應用程序Daily Bible Reading - September 2020 God's Life-Giving Word of Wisdom預覽
September 13
Introduction
Today’s reading begins with Jesus’ instructions for handling matters of discipline within communities of faith and reproving one who has sinned. By means of a parable, Jesus teaches about repeated forgiveness.
Scripture Reading
Matthew 18:15-35
Today’s Key Verse: Matthew 18:27
The king felt sorry for him, so he forgave him the debt and let him go.
Reflect
Reread verses 15-17. What steps are outlined to initiate reconciliation within a community of faith? Has your community of faith ever had to put into practice such steps? How did Jesus respond to the question Peter asked (verse 21)? What does his response teach you about God? Compare verse 35 with the words from the prayer that Jesus taught in Matthew 6:12: “Forgive us the wrongs we have done, as we forgive the wrongs that others have done to us.”
Pray
Merciful God, each time I sin, you offer forgiveness over and over again. Teach me to forgive others as you have forgiven me. Amen.
Prayer Concern
Those seeking forgiveness and reconciliation.
Tomorrow’s Reading
Matthew 19:1-15: Jesus teaches about divorce and blesses little children.
