The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant

Dan Petty
03/14/21 - A Few Minutes with Dan

"Lord, how often will my brother forgive me, and I forgive him? As many as seven times?" Peter asked Jesus this question, probably thinking this was generous. Jesus responded, "I do not say to you seven times, but seventy times seven." Can there be a limit to our willingness to forgive? To illustrate the lesson, Jesus teaches this parable. It's a story with lots of details, stark contrasts, and astonishing twists and turns.
