The parable of the unforgiving debtor

I wrote about this parable a month or 2 ago but this weekend I got a new perspective on it. Not only just about the non forgiveness but about how we can do this each and every day. Not only are we required to forgive others because others have forgiven us but because God has forgiven us. And there is such an enormous debt we owe to God! The man owed the king so much! Some people have said it would've taken him 150,000 years to pay back this debt. This shows the enormity of our sin and how much we owe to God! And how we can never pay this back to God. The king is God and God chose to forgive us, He didn't have to but He did! And then if we were to go back and not forgive others it would be so hypocritical. No matter what others do to us the debt can never be as large as what God paid for us. God knows how hard forgiveness is it cost Him a son. 

That being said we must not only forgive others but we should beg God for our own forgiveness. We should be crying out to Him on our knees. Thinking of His horrible death on the cross for us after He lived a perfect life. But Jesus has received His glory He is at the right hand of God! The deep love we have for Jesus right now and what we know about Him it would be horrible to watch Him be nailed to a cross and die. But He died for us. He paid for our huge debt. This week should be a humble week serving God with faithfulness. Preparing for Jesus to rise from the dead. Think about how much of the relationship God took into His own hands to be able to love us and be close with Him. Loving everyone God brings into our path and tell them about Jesus!
