The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant How can we expect mercy when we're unwilling to give it? In Matthew 18:21–35, Jesus teaches that forgiveness isn't about keeping score—it's about reflecting the incredible grace God has shown us. We have been forgiven much, so we are called to forgive others from the heart. 💙 Key Lesson: Forgiven people forgive people. 🤔 Challenge for this week: Think of someone you've been struggling to forgive. Pray for them and ask God to help you release bitterness and choose grace. 📖 "Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." — Ephesians 4:32
