Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him, and if he sins against you seven times in the day, and turns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ you must forgive him.”(Luke 17:3-4 ESV)
Jesus is still talking to us about making sure WE are not the ones to cause others to stumble spiritually. We need to have such a servant's heart, and a forgiving heart, that we pursue repentance. It is such a frame of mind we ahve that we see it as a "must" and such a burden of heart, that we want to see others in a state of forgiveness. But it begins by focusing on ourselves, and our actions and reactions, not looking to find sin in others.
