    Forgiveness is one of the basic principles of the faith and yeah it is a discipline that is one of the hardest for us to master. Too often forgiveness has been misunderstood and therefore out of grasp of us. Unhindered forgiveness is the first step to radical healing in our lives.

    Life is not easy. This is one thing that you talk to anybody, and everyone will agree that there are hard things that happen in this life. Right before Jesus was arrested in John 16, Jesus is trying to prepare his disciples for what is about to come. Verse 32: 32 But the time is coming—indeed ...read more

    In God's kingdom, we must extend mercy and forgiveness to others just as we have received it ourselves. Jesus teaches us to love and forgive unconditionally, healing our hearts and relationships.

    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
