Mathew 18:21-35 – The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant (Forgiveness)

You gotta love Peter’s confidence here. How many times, Lord, should I forgive these people?   [Go ahead and open your bibles, read the passage.  Do it.]

The parable culminates with Jesus’ description of how our Father in Heaven will treat us if we continue the path of un-forgiveness. Did you catch it in verse 34?  Jesus equates un-forgiveness with jail.  That’s exactly what un-forgiveness will do to you.  You will be locked away behind anger, resentment, jealousy, pride, and selfishness.  Ironically, the offending party goes free.  The best part of this is…   You have the key to the prison.  It’s not easy, but it’s the only way out.  Start small, ask God for help.  As you kneel, ask God to forgive you for your offenses.   Lord, thank You that each day we have from You is a gift, another chance for a fresh start. Forgive us, Lord.  Help us to forgive, and to let go of the past.  Please help us to see Your strength through our weaknesses today, and then again tomorrow, and every day after.  I Jesus’ Name, amen.

Also, remember Jesus’ answer to Peter’s question.  “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.”

Do the hard thing.  Hard things come up frequently in life.  Sometimes we look for an easy way around it.  Sometimes we avoid it or put it off.  Don’t do that.  Just like you tackle those 30 burpees in a beatdown, take on the hard thing head-on, and do it with all your might!

Know the difference in an “Excuse and a Reason”.  The PAX is the what makes F3 what it is.  Without the HIMS F3 does not exist.  We make a decision to get out and live in the gloom.  If we don’t make it to a work out, ask yourself if you have a reason or an excuse.  A reason would be work or an injury or sick etc.  An excuse is sleeping,  “Man I just don’t have time”etc.  This holds true with life decisions as well.  If you decide you want to make a change or want to get a new job that you know is better or what ever the case may be and you convince yourself you can’t…… Think for a moment.  Do I have a reason or am I making an excuse?

Luke 12:11-12
When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.
Matthew 10:19-20
But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Exodus 4:10-12
Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”
