Forgiveness is a profound and transformative act that holds great power in the Christian faith. In Matthew 18:21-35, Jesus shares a parable about a servant who refuses to forgive a debt. This story teaches that we must forgive others just as God forgives us. Peter asks Jesus if forgiving seven times is enough, but Jesus tells him to forgive seventy times seven.
