In the parable, a king forgives a servant who owes him a large sum of money. However, the servant then refuses to forgive a fellow servant who owes him a much smaller amount of money. The king is angry when he hears this and punishes the unforgiving servant. Jesus tells this parable to teach us that we should be willing to forgive others, even when they have wronged us. He says, “But if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses” (Matthew 6:15).
This parable is a reminder that forgiveness is not always easy. It can be hard to let go of anger and resentment, especially when we feel like we have been wronged. However, Jesus tells us that we must forgive others if we want to be forgiven by God.
Forgiveness is a powerful thing. It can free us from the chains of anger and resentment. It can also help us to build stronger relationships with others. When we forgive others, we are not only helping them, we are also helping ourselves.
