Forgiveness

Tiffany and I touched on some of these things in this collaboration. I had a few more things to say about it, and I found some awesome verses too.

Matthew 18:27-30 - "The servant's master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go. But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins. He grabbed him and began to choke him. 'Pay back what you owe me!' he demanded. His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, 'Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.' But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt."

Matthew 18:34-35 (When his master found out what he had done) - "In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed. This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart."

This is a really good example of forgiving others if we want to be forgiven. Because the servant did not forgive another's debts, his master in turn, took back forgiveness of the servant's debts.
