From Forgiven to Forgiving

The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant
Matthew 18:21-35

• An Unlimited Debt Forgiven (vv.23-27)
• A Little Debt Demanded (vv.28-30)
• A Servant Reprimanded (vv.31-35)

Summary: Christ says there should be no limit to a Christian's forgiving of others (18:22) because God has forgiven every believer infinitely more than their fellow brother will ever owe them.
