This week, Jesus challenges us with one of His many stories, which also known as parables, about forgiveness. As we follow the key characters, it becomes quickly apparent that the forgiveness of the master is costly and self-sacrificing. God’s love is like that of the master; it's abundant and overflowing. God's costly love can be seen most profoundly in and through the cross of Jesus. Our forgiveness of others, which is often imperfect, is meant to reflect and be grounded in God's far greater forgiveness of our sins through Jesus. How are you called to reflect this gift of forgiveness?
