About this sermon
In Matthew 18, Peter asks Jesus how many times he has to forgive someone who sins against him. Peter asks if seven times is enough, but Jesus tells him seventy times seven. Jesus was not telling Peter to keep count. He was teaching him that forgiveness should be a continual part of our lives. Jesus then tells a story about a servant who owed a king an enormous amount of money. The servant could never realistically pay the debt back. When the servant begged for mercy, the king had compassion on him and forgave the entire debt. But right after being forgiven, that same servant found another man who owed him a much smaller amount of money. Instead of showing him the same mercy he had just received, he demanded that the man pay him. When the king found out what happened, he was angry because the servant had received mercy but refused to give mercy. Jesus uses this story to show us the danger of unforgiveness and what can happen when we forget how much mercy God has shown us.
