Matthew 18

As the Savior teaches His apostles concerning offenses and forgiveness, I came across the quote this morning on a related topic...tolerance - 

“An erroneous assumption could be made that if a little of something is good, a lot must be better.  Not so!  Overdoses of needed medication can be toxic.  Boundless mercy could oppose justice.  So tolerance without limit could lead to spineless permissiveness.   

The Lord drew boundary lines to define acceptable limits of tolerance.  Danger rises when those divine limits are disobeyed.  Just as parents teach little children not to run and play in the street, the Saviour taught us that we need not tolerate evil” (President Russell M. Nelson, Daily Joy, April 3, 2021).
