H.G. Bishop Youssef explains the Parable of the Unforgiving Servant by focusing on Christ’s teaching about forgiveness, repentance, and accountability before God. H.G. Bishop Youssef describes the vast debt forgiven by God as a sign of divine mercy and grace, showing that human sin creates a debt no one can repay apart from God’s compassion .
H.G. Bishop Youssef contrasts God’s forgiveness with the servant’s refusal to forgive a small debt, explaining how unforgiveness contradicts repentance and grieves God. He clarifies that forgiveness is unconditional, a conscious choice rather than an emotion, and distinct from reconciliation.
H.G. Bishop Youssef concludes by teaching that forgiveness is essential for spiritual healing, freedom from resentment, and receiving God’s mercy, calling believers to forgive from the heart as they seek forgiveness through prayer, fasting, and repentance.
