In this Sunday’s Gospel reading, our Lord uses a parable of servants who are indebted to their master to teach us about forgiveness, which is central to how we should live our lives as Christians.
In today’s sermon, Fr. Micah encourages us to always remember the debt that we owe our Lord, and that everything we have is a gift from God that we’ve done nothing to deserve. Every Sunday, we gather together to thank God for these gifts, and in the pre-communion prayer we say, “I am the first among sinners.” Fr. Micah challenges us to ask ourselves if we truly mean this when we say it. If we do mean it and believe it, there’s no offense we could receive that we could not forgive. Fr. Micah continues, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness in our lives and its relationship to communion and resurrection, the heart of our faith.
