The Lord's calculation method

and our calculation method seem so different.

The way of calculation by the Lord,

who is the King of kings in the heavenly kingdom,

seems so different from our own way of calculating here on earth.

Our way of thinking is that when a brother sins against us,

we believe we only need to forgive him up to seven times.

But the Lord’s way of calculation is, "Not seven times,

but seventy-seven times (or seventy times seven), you must forgive."

The fundamental difference is

that the Lord shows compassion for those who sin,

but we, when someone sins against us,

lack the heart of compassion to forgive them.

To such people, Jesus says:

"If you do not forgive your brother from your heart,

my Father in heaven will also treat you in the same way"

(Ref.: Matthew 18:21-35).
