In this episode, we explore Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant, highlighting the vast contrast between the immeasurable debt God forgives us and the much smaller offenses we often withhold forgiveness for. Through Peter’s question about limits on forgiveness and the real-life example of Corrie ten Boom, who forgave a former Nazi guard by faith, we see that forgiveness isn't about forgetting or excusing pain, it’s about releasing resentment because we’ve been shown radical mercy. Jesus challenges us to measure our forgiveness with the same generosity God has shown us, reminding us that true mercy transforms how we treat others.
