Parable of the Moneylender Forgiving Unequal Debts
In Luke 7:41-43, Jesus tells a parable about a moneylender who forgives unequal debts. He uses this story to illustrate the concept of forgiveness and gratitude. In the parable, two debtors owe money to a moneylender—one owes a large sum, while the other owes a smaller amount. When neither debtor can repay, the moneylender graciously forgives both debts. Jesus then asks Simon, the Pharisee who invited Him to dinner, which debtor would love the moneylender more. Simon correctly answers that it would be the one forgiven the more significant debt. Jesus uses this analogy to teach about the depth of gratitude and love that comes from being forgiven.
Why do you think Jesus chose to tell this parable during a dinner with a Pharisee?

About this Plan
Jesus was a master storyteller. He knew that the timeless principles He was trying to articulate would be best remembered through storytelling. He often spoke through parables to (1) communicate a more profound truth, (2) make His teachings more accessible to those who were ready to hear them, and (3) confound those who refused to listen. Parables were shaped to convey a single thought, so don't get lost in the details wondering what each part means. Absorb the story and allow Jesus to communicate His truth to your heart.
