The Unmerciful Servant

Peter was feeling pretty religious when he suggested to Jesus he would forgive someone seven times! But Jesus goes on to tell a story of true forgiveness that, like many of his parables, pulls the rug out from under our expectations. Jesus’ story of the unmerciful servant shows us the dangerous predicament we are in, owing a debt we can never repay, and how outrageous the grace of God is that pays the debt in total on our behalf.
