Jesus has used a child to teach his disciples about humility and along with humility...forgiveness. when children play together, there can be a little bit of a skirmish but within seconds, they are right back to playing as if nothing ever happened. Jesus tells his disciples they must forgive others and Peter thinks he has a great handle on it when he asks, "How many times do I have to forgive? Seven Times?" Jesus lets him know immediately that he, as well as any follower of his, must forgive every time, all the time and he gives a story to emphasize his point. Let go of that grudge. Missing heaven isn't worth it!
