Experience has shown that individuals who receive grace from God and man in some cases end up being terrible tyrants.

A few group who were delivered from the jaws of death by God's grace and mercy in the past have become takers of lives. Such individuals fail to remember that as recipient of God's mercy, much more is expected from them.

They resemble the wicked servant in the Bible, whose debt to his master was incredible to such an extent that the master knew there was no chance he could repay it, thus forgive him out of compassion.

As though that was not enough, this wicked and rude man put his other servant in prison until he got his cash back.

A few of us may cringe with sickening apprehension at this awful attitude, yet the inquiry is, would we say we are not doing likewise things against our fellow people, even in the family of faith?

Many of us would have died if God somehow repay us as according to our transgressions, yet express gratitude toward God for His mercies. It is safe to say that we are anyway showing a similar level of mercy to the individuals who have wronged us in one way or the other?

The story of what the wicked servant did got to the master and, in irritation, he denied the pardon he had given the wicked servant, casting him back into jail.

We became children of God when He forgave our transgressions. We should accordingly not think that its hard to forgive the people who offend us, know that in the event that we had not been forgiven, we would have been in a sorry state.

Having been relieved of our substantial load of sin through forgiveness, let us likewise forgive always. In any case, in the event that you have not received forgiveness of your sin, it is possible that you have not repented of them.
