The theme of the whole section is *FORGIVENESS*

*18:10-14* The parable of the “Lost Sheep”
The sheep is lost because of its own foolishness – it wandered off.
The shepherd however does not say “/well serve it right, let it perish, I have better things to do”/
He goes and at great personal cost finds and rescues it.
*18:15-20* Emulate God in this matter.
If you , a disciple have been wronged, *just as you wronged God*.
You must seek out the wrong-doer and forgive them.
You must seek and bring about restoration if you can whatever the cost!
Discipline is a last resort, and always with restoration in mind.
*Be practical Lord.

I believe that Peter is seeking to curry favour here.
He is showing the Lord how well he has understood this teaching, and in doing so showing off the other disciples.
“Look at me Lord, I’ll forgive seven times” pauses for applause.
!! You’ve missed the point.
22
Not seven Peter but 70x7 which does not = 490 but infinity!
*The story.*
23-34
*The application.*

You jeopardise your own forgiveness if you yourself have an unforgiving heart.
*Forgiveness in two realms.*

The link is so clear!
