    Today, let’s look at the powerful words of Jesus found in Matthew 18:23-35, where He shares the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant. This parable holds immense relevance for us today, as it reveals profound truths about forgiveness, mercy, and the consequences of harboring an unforgiving spirit.

    1. God's Unlimited Mercy: In the parable, we encounter a servant who owes an enormous debt to his king. Despite the servant's inability to repay, the king, moved by compassion, forgives the debt entirely. This act highlights God's boundless mercy toward us. As Psalm 103:10-12 states, ...read more

    We are told to forgive because God forgave us. We can do that when we take off the old garments of bitterness and anger and replace them with love, compassion and humility. Today we'll see Jesus communicating how serious forgiving others is.
