The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant
21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
Jesus is teaching a parable that is based off of Isaiah 5
The Song of the Vineyard
I will sing for the one I love a song about his vineyard:
My loved one had a vineyard on a fertile hillside.
He dug it up and cleared it of stones and planted it with the choicest vines.
He built a watchtower in it and cut out a winepress as well.
Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit.
In Luke 15 Jesus tells three stories about the recovery of something of value that was lost and then is found. In telling these parables, Jesus is teaching us about the heart of God, the nature of God and the character of God.
Which character are you?
Have you grown confident in your own righteousness?
Have you developed spiritual arrogance?
How do you see ‘outsiders’?
Do you feel separated from God?
Are you ashamed to even approach God?
How do you view ‘insiders’?
Whichever character you are - Humble yourself, ask God your mercy and it will be freely given. Leave the temple justified.
