There is a place in Luke where Jesus tells his disciples what they must do when a brother sins against them.
Luke 17:4:
“if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent’,’ you must forgive him.”
Most of us believe this, but get a lump in our gut when we think about what that situation might actually look like. How do you forgive someone who continues to wrong you? It’s hard to do. Most of us give people three or four chances before we give up.
But the disciples heard this, recognized how difficult it was and responded to Jesus’ command. It’s telling, isn’t it?
“Increase our faith!”
