(Matthew 18:21-35) This week we explore Jesus’ radical teaching on forgiveness from Matthew 18:21–35, showing that forgiveness is the very heartbeat of the Kingdom of God. While our culture increasingly resists forgiveness, demanding justice without mercy, Jesus reframes the conversation by revealing that forgiveness is not about ignoring sin or minimizing consequences but about paying the debt ourselves, just as the King in the parable did for his servant. True forgiveness cannot be earned, nor is it based on feelings- it flows from the unlimited forgiveness we have received in Christ. By attuning our hearts to the Father’s mercy, we not only experience healing in our own lives but also gain the power to forgive others, even those we thought we could never forgive.
