“For this reason, the kingdom of heaven can be compared to a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. When he began to settle accounts, one who owed ten thousand talents was brought before him. Since he did not have the money to pay it back, his master commanded that he, his wife, his children, and everything he had be sold to pay the debt. “At this, the servant fell facedown before him and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you everything.’ Then the master of that servant had compassion, released him, and forgave him the loan. “That servant went out and found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. , He grabbed him, started choking him, and said, ‘Pay what you owe! ’ “At this, his fellow servant fell down and began begging him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’ But he wasn’t willing. Instead, he went and threw him into prison until he could pay what was owed. When the other servants saw what had taken place, they were deeply distressed and went and reported to their master everything that had happened. Then, after he had summoned him, his master said to him, ‘You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me. Shouldn’t you also have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on you? ’ And because he was angry, his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured until he could pay everything that was owed. So also my heavenly Father will do to you unless every one of you forgives his brother or sister from your heart.”

We are going to look at another gift inside of grace by looking at what Jesus says about love and hate. Jesus says to love your neighbor, but to also love your enemies. This plan will take you through what Jesus says about forgiveness, and how, as children of God, we can choose to love and forgive those who have wounded us.
We cannot fully understand how prayer works but the effects, the power, and the results are undeniable. However, we must approach prayer with a conscious of heart. Jesus shows us three things that must be in place, not if, but when we pray.
One of the good news of the Gospel is that our life can change, no matter how it began. Your identity is not defined by your past. Jesus comes to your rescue, you can get back on the road, keep walking in the valley of the shadow of death and get out of it.
Forgiveness is hard, but expected. Jesus spoke about it often in the Parables. In this reading plan, we will look at Parables spoken by Jesus and recorded in the Gospels about forgiveness and living in love with the people around us. It is possible.
