One Another (2) - Bear with

This sermon explores the parable sometimes known as "The Unmerciful Servant" from Matthew 28:31-35. Jesus taught that we were to bear with (forgive) one another, being kind-hearted. Forgiveness is a difficult concept--easy to define but difficult to achieve. To bear with one another, we have to call upon our disposition--our ingrained and practiced approach to life. Think about this. (1) Wrath is an outcry of fury. (2) Anger is settling into resentment and being mad. These are common conditions for humans. Jesus calls us to put those emotions aside and instead to settle into patience and love, becoming a new kind of creature. We can set our minds on things above.
