The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant tells of a servant who owed his king an enormous debt he could never repay. When the servant begged for mercy, the king took pity on him and forgave the entire debt. Yet, when the servant encountered someone who owed him a much smaller amount, he refused to show the same mercy and had the man thrown into prison. When the king learned what had happened, he condemned the servant for receiving great mercy but refusing to extend it to others.
This parable reminds us that we have received tremendous grace and forgiveness from God, and He calls us to extend that same grace to others. Forgiveness can be difficult, especially when we have been hurt, but we are challenged to reflect the mercy God has shown us. Is there someone you are struggling to forgive, and how might remembering God's grace toward you change the way you respond?
