C-4 â€" THE LIBERAL. Wednesday, May 23. 1979 Gormley Missionary Church Words are interesting. Take for example, â€" “Fair”. What does it mean to you? First 6f all. you might im- mediately recall the recent Rich- mond Hill Spring Fair â€"â€" that Church column By Rev. CECIL ROSENBERGER, Pastor There’s no maximum on forgiveness weekend of May 11 to 13 with all the exhibition and competition at the Arenas and environs. Secondly. there comes to your mind the weather forecaster’s statement of, “it will be a fair day today".

The disciple Peter came to Jesus one day with a very weighty question, “Lord, how many times shall I foygive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?“ Matthew 18:21 Peter had a “fair” question. He was asking sincerely about a delicate situation. No one wants to end up as the goat. No one wants to be left looking like a fool. So what is reasonable in forgiving someone? What was Jesus aiming at? Did he really mean that we had to keep track on our pocket calculator 490 times? I don‘t believe so, personally, Now the answer seemed very obvious to Peter. Surely seven times would be the maximum. Jesus threw a real curve at him. Matthew 18:22, “I tell you, not seven tithes. but seventy times seven". your choice Metro Toronto - Richmond Hill o Newmarket - Aurora - Port Credit ~ Brampton - Oshawa - Oakville - Milton - Georgetown - Hamilton .

Would you get your Bible and read the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 18, verses 23 to 34. What is said in the above verses is all wrapped up "fairly" in verse 35. "this is how my Heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart“. There. Peter, is your answer
