Forgiving someone can be hard. Forgiving someone a second time can be harder. What about the third time… the fourth time… and the fifth time? How many times do we need to forgive someone? Peter, the disciple who continually tried and promised what he could not deliver, asked Jesus this question. He was not ready for Jesus’ answer. Jesus told a parable about a CEO who was willing to forgive an employee a million dollar debt. Yet, this same employee, was not only unwilling to forgive a friend who owed him a few dollars, but had him thrown into jail. When the CEO heard about this, he had the employee tortured until he paid back what he actually owed. Jesus said His Father would treat everyone who acted like this, this same way. We must be willing to forgive everyone, because God is willing to forgive us (a greater debt than we owe anyone) over and over and over again.
