Back to EpisodesThe Parable of the Unforgiving Servant Explained
Description
Why is it so much easier to receive forgiveness than to give it? Jesus told a parable about a servant who was forgiven an impossible debt and then refused to forgive someone who owed him far less.
We walk through Matthew 18 and what Jesus meant by "seventy times seven," and why Old Testament debt laws and a first-century loophole matter. Then we look at how God paid our sin debt in full, and what that means for the way we forgive others.
