- In the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant, Jesus tells the story of the servant who is forgiven a huge debt by his master, but then fails to extend forgiveness for a much smaller debt that is owed to him by a fellow servant. This parable puts some detail to the phrase from The Lord’s Prayer, which states, “Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.” In this message, learn how our own forgiveness from God is linked to our forgiveness of others, and what we free ourselves from when we set down our offenses and forgive others completely.
