Lord, how many times will I forgive my brother who sins against me? Up to seven? Jesus said to him: I do not tell you until seven, but up to seventy times seven.
Matthew 18: 21-22
A king made accounts with his servants. One of them owed him a lot of money, so much that he could never pay it. Then he begged his master to be patient and promised to pay him everything. The kindly king annulled his great debt.
But as soon as he was free of his debt, that servant attacked one of his fellow servants demanding that he pay him the small amount of money he owed him. He also begged him to be patient, but the other did not listen to him ... The king heard about it and, very angry, he turned his servant to justice!
HOW CAN THIS BE INTERPRETED?
The king represents God, who forgave us much, much more than we could imagine. The first servant is a believer who, in spite of God's goodness, does not appreciate his grace. The second servant is a believer who behaved badly to another believer, but to the one who asks for forgiveness.
CONCLUSION
God forgave us an incalculable debt, giving us his forgiveness; So, what are the injustices that we sometimes have to suffer in comparison? The divine forgiveness we receive makes us responsible for being merciful to others.
The Lord does not reproach us for any of our sins, for He forgave us all! But he wants us to act kindly towards our fellow believers and towards all those around us. "Be kind to one another, merciful, forgiving one another, as God also forgave you in Christ" (Ephesians 4:32).
