“Lord, how often will my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven.” — Matt. 18:21-22
First take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. — Matt. 7:5

I thought I'd include questions from the workbook this week (which is available free at www.desiringgod.org) -
Chapter 19—Do Not Be Angry—Embrace Mercy and Forgiveness (pp. 146–152)
91. According to Matt. 18:26–35, what is the solution to the problem of sinful anger over repeated offenses done to us?
92. Describe how mercy should govern our anger.
93. How does Jesus’ demand to take up our cross and follow him relate to our battle against sinful anger?
94. How would you describe the anger that Jesus condemns?
95. Why can’t we obey the demand discussed in this chapter in our own power? What is the solution to
this dilemma?
