In Matthew 18, Jesus Christ responds to Peter's inquiry about how many times he should forgive his brother who has wronged him. Jesus' response is a powerful message of forgiveness - not just seven times, but seventy-seven times! To emphasize this point, he tells the parable of the Unforgiving Servant, a story about a man who owes his master an insurmountable debt, but is shown mercy and forgiven. However, when this same servant refuses to forgive a fellow servant who owes him a much smaller debt, he is punished severely by the master. This parable, much like the parable of the sower and other teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, reminds us of the importance of forgiveness, mercy, and judgment. It reminds us that even when we fall short, He gets us. Join Adam and Alison in this episode of Biblical Bytes as they explore the profound implications of this challenging parable and its relevance to our lives today,  and the impact of The Passion of the Christ.
