As we cover the parables of Christ we are reminded of how different the ways of Christ are as compared to human nature.  This particular parable is a hard lesson about mercy.  We would all love to have mercy showered over us for the things that we have done in our lives, but the bigger check is how well we give others mercy. 

In this parable, Christ gives us yet another strong reminder of how his ways are so different than what our human nature desires.  He reminds us that we must be intentional about seeking out the ways of God, or we risk the harsh judgement of the Lord. 

How well do you show mercy to others?  Are you looking for a break when you have made a mistake, yet you hold others to a standard that you would never want to be help to?  These are interesting thoughts that all of us could benefit from. 

Matthew 18: 21-35
