Kingdom Parables 3: The Unforgiving Servant
Dec 15, 2024 • Garrett Marshall
A teenage girl borrows her best friend’s brand new, beloved convertible that she just got for Christmas from Mom and Dad. This girl then wrecks the vehicle beyond repair, it is a total loss. She is filled with dread at what her friend will do when she finds out, and yet, in a display of incredible mercy and generosity, her friend forgives her. Later, the same girl discovers that her younger sister has borrowed a pair of her shorts and gotten a stain on them. The girl is furious, yells at her sister, and refuses to forgive her.
The next parable we are going to study examines a similar situation as this, but with much higher stakes. This week, we find out what forgiveness looks like for those living in God’s Kingdom.
