Are you waiting for #491? Is it haunting you in the night and consuming your daydreams? Does it seem like it’s gonna take forever for it to finally happen? Can’t you just taste the sweet freedom you know awaits you when it occurs?
In Matthew 18, Jesus talks about leaving 99 sheep to go find 1 lost one. He then lays out how Christians and the church are to deal with a sinning brother. It was after this that Peter inquires of Jesus as to what the ceiling is for how many times he had to forgive his sinning brother. Was it up to 7 times? Jesus told Peter not just 7 times, but 70 X 7, which, of course, equals up to 490 times.
