Forgiveness Cancels Paybacks

Rev. William Mueller

Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost - Sermon Text: Genesis 50:15-21; Readings: Psalm 103:1-12; Genesis 50:15-21; Matthew 18:21-35

The account of Joseph forgiving his brothers appears to be so nice & neat. We read it & marvel at the grace Joseph extends to his (at one time) ruthless brothers, and we're confronted with the truth that we are also called to forgive. How can we? We begin to discover the answer when we examine the “payback.”
