Suppose a person wronged seven times in one day heard the same apology over and over. Jesus said to forgive every time, acknowledging the difficulty of overcoming ingrained sin. Becoming a profitable servant of the Lord requires more than meeting obligations. Ten lepers received healing, but only one returned to give thanks and glory to God. Saint Paul wanted Onesimus to return to Philemon as a brother, not a slave, and offered to repay any amount that Onesimus may have stolen. Jesus reminded His Disciples of the Old Testament story of Lot’s family, warned by two angels to flee and not look back. When Lot’s wife looked behind her at the burning of Sodom and Gomorrah, she turned into a pillar of salt. If we hesitate to put reproachable ways behind us, how can we look forward to meeting the Lord when He comes again?
