What happens when we receive grace, but keep living as though nothing has changed?
In this message from our Parables series, Dan explores Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18 — a story about an impossible debt forgiven, a new future opened up, and the tragedy of a character who stays stuck in continuing to live by the old rules of keeping score, demanding repayment and retaliation.
Jesus’ story has a challenging aspect to it: we do not just receive grace — grace remakes the way we live in light of it, that we may “forgive as we have been forgiven.”
NOTE: the final 5 mins of this talk was re-recorded to fix a technical issue.
