[662.22 --> 662.96] give me time,
[663.06 --> 663.92] be patient with me,
[663.96 --> 665.04] I'll pay it back.
[666.08 --> 667.00] And to be honest,
[667.06 --> 667.96] I don't know how to translate
[667.96 --> 669.00] the intention there
[669.00 --> 670.42] because it could be
[670.42 --> 670.96] that he's just
[670.96 --> 672.08] extremely penitent,
[672.64 --> 673.32] but I also think
[673.32 --> 674.36] he's just extremely ignorant
[674.36 --> 675.46] because it's not like
[675.46 --> 676.16] he's going to be able
[676.16 --> 677.04] to pay this debt back.
[677.12 --> 677.56] It's the equivalent
[677.56 --> 678.46] of like working
[678.46 --> 679.50] as a cashier somewhere
[679.50 --> 680.50] at minimum wage
[680.50 --> 681.18] and you're like,
[681.28 --> 681.86] forgive me,
[681.92 --> 682.48] give me time,
[682.66 --> 683.60] I'm going to pay back
[683.60 --> 685.10] my debt on 20 acres
[685.10 --> 686.04] of land in Vancouver.
[686.94 --> 688.02] It's not going to happen.
[688.54 --> 689.66] You can't do it.
[690.82 --> 691.84] And the master
[691.84 --> 692.74] looks at this servant,
[694.20 --> 695.34] he takes pity on him,
[695.74 --> 697.02] or as some translations
[697.02 --> 697.40] put it,
[697.42 --> 698.66] he has compassion on him
[698.66 --> 699.42] from his heart
[699.42 --> 701.06] and he cancels the debt.
[702.06 --> 703.42] He releases that servant
[703.42 --> 704.06] free and clear.
[704.78 --> 705.88] There's nothing left to do.
[707.54 --> 708.56] And if you've grown up
[708.56 --> 708.98] in the church
[708.98 --> 709.78] or you know the Bible,
[709.98 --> 711.06] you'll know where this parable
[711.06 --> 712.02] is going in the first half.
[712.10 --> 713.34] This is Jesus describing
[713.34 --> 714.84] the insurmountable debt
[714.84 --> 715.86] that we have towards
[715.86 --> 716.66] our Heavenly Father
[716.66 --> 717.90] because of our sin,
[718.54 --> 719.36] because of rebellion,
[719.54 --> 720.46] because of our idolatry,
[720.60 --> 721.48] because of our choosing
[721.48 --> 722.22] to follow everything
[722.22 --> 723.16] except for God
[723.16 --> 723.84] and we have this
[723.84 --> 724.88] unbelievable,
[725.16 --> 725.82] insurmountable,
[725.94 --> 728.02] incalculable debt
[728.02 --> 730.04] and we can't pay it back.
[730.98 --> 731.64] And so the master
[731.64 --> 732.76] that is our Heavenly Father
[732.76 --> 733.70] through the work
[733.70 --> 734.90] of his son Jesus Christ
[734.90 --> 735.54] in his death
[735.54 --> 736.04] and resurrection
[736.04 --> 738.80] says that debt's dealt with.
[739.74 --> 740.50] It's canceled.
[741.46 --> 743.18] You are free to go.
[744.38 --> 746.30] Nothing left to pay.
[747.66 --> 748.84] That's the first half
[748.84 --> 749.90] of this passage.
[750.30 --> 750.94] And like I said,
[751.34 --> 752.62] it's great to hang out
[752.62 --> 753.32] and camp out
[753.32 --> 754.04] in this first half
[754.04 --> 754.44] of the passage.
[754.54 --> 755.42] It's a beautiful thing.
[755.54 --> 756.58] The gospel of grace,
[757.02 --> 757.94] the mercy of God,
[758.10 --> 758.64] unmerited,
[759.08 --> 759.60] unwarranted,
[759.80 --> 760.36] undeserved,
[760.64 --> 761.98] just freely sent
[761.98 --> 762.76] through Jesus
[762.76 --> 763.94] to all those
[763.94 --> 764.62] who receive him.
[765.60 --> 766.22] But now we get
[766.22 --> 766.84] to the second half
[766.84 --> 768.48] and this is the punchline
[768.48 --> 769.46] half of the passage.
[770.04 --> 770.54] The servant
[770.54 --> 771.98] who receives this grace
[771.98 --> 773.14] goes and finds
[773.14 --> 774.06] a fellow servant
[774.06 --> 774.56] and how much
[774.56 --> 775.82] does this servant
[775.82 --> 776.82] owe the other servant?
[778.20 --> 779.88] One hundred silver coins.
[780.94 --> 782.42] You had 10,000 bags of gold,
[782.80 --> 783.88] one hundred silver coins.
[784.22 --> 785.20] And he goes to that servant
[785.20 --> 786.00] and he doesn't just say,
