彼得·捨己背十架，跟从主(太16:13-28) 提要 :

        彼得个性中最明显的缺点之一便是言语急躁，他是一个不说话便感到不舒服的人。他的嘴边总是带着一些问题或回答。主耶稣也适时地利用机会来教导他。当主与门徒同住了二年半之后，距祂离世只剩六个月的时间，祂必须让门徒明白祂的身份和降世的目的，于是祂来到巴勒斯坦极北，近黑门山的地方，向门徒提出一个最重要的问题:「你们说我是谁？」彼得立刻明确地作了一个重大的宣认:「你是基督，是永生神的儿子。」主称赞他说:「西门巴约拿，你是有福的，因为这不是属血肉的指示你的。」

    彼得因着神的启示而参透了神的奥秘。接着主告诉他说:「你是彼得(Petros,一块磐石凿出的碎片)，我要把我的教会建造在这磐石(Petra,磐石本身)上。」这磐石指的是主自己，绝不是彼得这块小碎石，天主教因错解圣经而将彼得尊为教皇，教会的根基不会建立在一个易冲动，会堕落的人性上。(太16:13-20)

        不久，当耶稣预言自己要受苦受死时，彼得出于对主的爱和忠诚，又由于他不了解主，便制止主走十字架的路。主十分严厉地斥责他:「撒旦，退我后边去罢！」(太16:23) 这是多么可怕的事，人的舌头一时能作神的出口，一时又可以受撒旦的控制。主耶稣的责备，适时的将频临跌倒的彼得拉回，并且再次提醒他:「若有人要跟从我，就当捨己，背起他的十字架来跟从我。」(太16:24)

Subject: "Should I Forgive A Brother Who Won't Repent?" Speaker: Don Blackwell Scripture: Luke 17:1-3 Website: https://www.willowcofc.net/ Willow Avenue Church of Christ Video: https://www.youtube.com/live/G0CwQfl3YMo?si=Y5PyqjXAxuOiTVX8 Then Peter came to Jesus, and he said, Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him.  Up to seven times? Jesus said to him, I do not say to you up to seven times, but up to 70 times seven.  (Mt 18:21-22). Brethren, I want to suggest to you this morning that questions about forgiving a brother who has sinned against you is not a new thing. They existed even when the Lord was on this earth. And they are troubling enough that one of the apostles felt the need to come and ask Jesus directly about it. How frequently should I forgive my brother? I mean, my patience runs out sometimes. I mean, sometimes enough is enough. Where do I draw the line? Peter said, is seven times enough? You know, I've got the idea that Peter...

Together: Forgive One Another

From:  Brent Kercheville - West Palm Beach church of Christ False Understanding of Forgiveness In our culture, forgiveness is a unilateral internal effort to get my own emotions under control. It is a therapeutic view of forgiveness. Forgiveness is about me. We see this in the way the word “forgiveness” is used. For example, we will hear people say that you need to forgive yourself. This does not make sense using the word biblically. The scriptures never say to forgive yourself. But what people mean about forgiving yourself is this unilateral internal effort to get your own emotions under control and move yourself to some sort of happy place. This is not a biblical view but you can see why there is confusion when we discuss forgiveness from a biblical basis.  Another example of this misunderstanding of forgiveness is that you will hear people say that they have forgiven God or cannot forgive God. This is also nonsensical and ultimately blasphemous since God cannot do wrong and...
