This parable of the unforgiving servant offers the disciples a glimpse of the kingdom of heaven. The king’s forgiveness of the debt owed by the slave is akin to God’s forgiveness of mistakes made by his faithful disciples, Jesus tells them. If they humbly offer up their predicaments, God, in God’s compassion, will listen and respond with justice and love.
Help us to lift our weaknesses to you, God, that we might be strengthened and set on a course that is straight and true.
