Tot zeven keer toe?\u2019 Jezus antwoordde hem: \u2018Ik zeg je niet tot zeven keer toe, maar tot zeventig maal zeven keer toe.\u2019<br \/><strong>Matte\u00fcs 18:21-22<\/strong><\/em><\/p><p>In Matte\u00fcs 18 gaf onze Heer ons niet alleen een voorbeeld van hoe we moeten omgaan met mensen die ons onrecht hebben aangedaan, maar Hij schetste ook een voorbeeld van vergeving. Petrus stelde een vraag waar velen van ons zich misschien wel eens over hebben afgevraagd: Hoe vaak moet ik iemand vergeven die tegen mij gezondigd heeft? Petrus dacht dat zeven keer voldoende geduld zou zijn. Maar de Heer antwoordt: niet zeven keer, maar zeventig maal zeven. Toen Petrus 490 hoorde, moet hij gedacht hebben: &quot;Wie kan zoveel overtredingen tellen?&quot; Maar dat is nu juist de kern van de zaak! Tegen de tijd dat je iemand zo vaak hebt vergeven, ben je eraan gewend geraakt om te vergeven!<\/p><p>Om Zijn punt te illustreren, vertelt onze Heer een gelijkenis over een dienaar die een grote schuld had bij een koning. Hij kon zijn schuld niet betalen en de koning wilde hem, zijn familie en alles wat hij had verkocht in beslag nemen om de schuld te voldoen. De man smeekte de koning om geduld met hem te hebben en beloofde zijn schuld te betalen. De koning toonde medelijden en vergaf hem zelfs zijn schuld. Maar deze dienaar ging er vervolgens op uit en greep iemand die hem in vergelijking een veel kleiner bedrag schuldig was. Toen de koning hoorde wat deze man had gedaan, liet hij hem overleveren aan de beulen.<\/p><p>Deze gelijkenis gaat niet over verlossing, maar over elkaar vergeven! Ze herinnert ons eraan dat ons een schuld is vergeven die we nooit hadden kunnen terugbetalen en dat we bereid moeten zijn om de schulden van anderen te vergeven. We hadden gezondigd tegen een heilige en rechtvaardige God, maar Hij heeft Zijn liefde voor ons bewezen doordat Christus voor ons gestorven is, terwijl wij nog zondaars waren! We behoren elkaar te vergeven.<\/p><p>Een andere les die we uit deze gelijkenis kunnen trekken, is dat de onvergevende dienaar werd overgeleverd aan de beulen. De ergste soort gevangenis is een onvergevend hart! Wanneer we weigeren te vergeven, sluiten we onszelf op en veroorzaken we onnodig leed. Onvergevende mensen kunnen tot de meest ellendige en ongelukkige mensen behoren. Maar zij die leren vergeven, zoals wij zelf vergeven zijn, zijn bevrijde mensen, vervuld van vreugde en vrede, omdat ze navolgers van God zijn geworden: &quot;En wees vriendelijk voor elkaar, vol medelijden, en vergeef elkaar, zoals God jullie in Christus vergeven heeft. Wees daarom navolgers van God, als geliefde kinderen&quot; (Efezi\u00ebrs 4:32-5:1).<\/p><p><strong>Ankerpunt voor vandaag:<\/strong><br \/>Wie leert vergeven, is een bevrijd mens, vervuld van vreugde en vrede, omdat hij of zij Gods voorbeeld is gaan volgen.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seventy Times Seven \u201cThen Peter came to Him and said, \u2018Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him?
