There is a parable in the Bible that has made me uncomfortable for some time. Whenever I would read it, I recognized the principle that Jesus was teaching, but my flesh would fight against it, wanting to hold onto my ways instead of God’s ways. The parable illustrates the principle of forgiveness – that thing we know we should do, but somehow, we still aren’t convinced is the right thing to do. After all, some of our pain is deeply rooted and very justified. After reading this parable recently, I saw God’s truth more clearly than ever before in the area of forgiveness. Forgiving others can become a privilege when we truly know that we have been completely forgiven and set free from our debt.
