The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant

The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant

21Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?

22Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

23“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. 25Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

26“The servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

28“But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.

29“His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’

30“But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.

32“Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

35“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”

Matthew 18:21-35

The Ultimate Sacrafice!

“…Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood” (Revelations 1:5)

Can you even begin to comprehend the great mystery that this scripture is showing us?

Jesus deserves no less than all of our devoted love and service because he paid the sacrificed everything, for us and “loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood” Rev 1:5. Jesus washed our sin away, forever, with his own blood. Remember, Jesus, being King of all Kings and Lord of all Lords, being the Son of God, having all authority and power in heaven and earth – this is more than enough, for us to be willing to give up our lives for him, and bring people to the Word. We should have the willingness to devote our lives to him. After Jesus paid the ultimate price, sacrificing his PERFECT LIFE, for us, sinners, and we are still selfish.

This makes me sick, seriously, I mean, he gave his life for us. I mean, just think about it.

Seriously Think About It.
