[786.12 --> 786.86] I want my money.
[787.02 --> 788.58] He chokes the servant
[788.58 --> 789.42] and he says,
[789.52 --> 790.72] pay back your debt.
[791.56 --> 792.16] And that servant
[792.16 --> 793.00] says the same thing
[793.00 --> 793.70] the first one did
[793.70 --> 794.18] to the master.
[794.28 --> 794.42] He says,
[794.48 --> 795.38] be patient with me.
[795.44 --> 796.60] I'll pay it back.
[797.60 --> 798.46] But he refuses.
[799.30 --> 800.24] And he throws that servant
[800.24 --> 800.74] in jail
[800.74 --> 801.98] until he can pay the debt.
[802.50 --> 803.58] And then word gets around
[803.58 --> 804.50] among other servants
[804.50 --> 806.00] who bring what happened
[806.00 --> 806.86] back to the master
[806.86 --> 807.74] and now I want to read
[807.74 --> 809.10] for us the punchline
[809.10 --> 810.02] of the whole parable.
[811.94 --> 813.26] We read these words
[813.26 --> 814.26] from the master.
[814.50 --> 816.34] You wicked servant.
[817.34 --> 818.98] I canceled all that debt
[818.98 --> 819.28] of yours
[819.28 --> 820.80] because you begged me to.
[821.52 --> 823.00] Shouldn't you have mercy
[823.00 --> 823.96] on your fellow servant
[823.96 --> 825.38] just as I had on you?
[826.38 --> 827.14] In anger,
[827.24 --> 828.32] his master handed him
[828.32 --> 829.12] over to the jailer
[829.12 --> 829.74] to be tortured
[829.74 --> 831.02] until he should pay back
[831.02 --> 831.88] all that he owed.
[833.06 --> 834.68] This is how my heavenly father
[834.68 --> 835.78] will treat each of you
[835.78 --> 837.22] unless you forgive
[837.22 --> 838.12] your brother or sister
[838.12 --> 839.40] from your heart.
[841.76 --> 842.74] Yeah, I heard someone else
[842.74 --> 843.88] make that same sound.
[845.04 --> 846.76] That is heavy teaching.
[848.32 --> 849.60] And these are the kind of passages
[849.60 --> 851.18] we can just gloss over
[851.18 --> 852.84] or just want to stay
[852.84 --> 853.96] in the first half of.
[854.66 --> 855.50] And I just want to say
[855.50 --> 856.42] unequivocally
[856.42 --> 857.94] that forgiveness
[857.94 --> 859.56] for those who follow Jesus
[859.56 --> 861.76] is not optional.
[862.86 --> 863.60] This is not some
[863.60 --> 864.80] take it or leave it ethic
[864.80 --> 865.66] that you can take
[865.66 --> 866.52] if you want
[866.52 --> 867.80] or leave if you don't like.
[868.10 --> 868.94] I find sometimes
[868.94 --> 869.70] we can water down
[869.70 --> 870.56] the teachings of Jesus.
[870.72 --> 871.62] We can sort of ignore
[871.62 --> 872.44] these hard pieces.
[872.56 --> 873.28] But Jesus says,
[873.74 --> 875.88] forgiveness is a serious command
[875.88 --> 878.36] with serious consequences.
[879.54 --> 880.20] And I'm going to quote
[880.20 --> 880.80] Dale Bruner,
[880.98 --> 882.68] a commentator I very much like
[882.68 --> 883.90] on the Gospel of Matthew.
[883.90 --> 886.24] And this is how he puts it.
[886.48 --> 887.34] And this is in contrast,
[887.50 --> 887.74] by the way,
[887.80 --> 888.56] to the Beatitudes.
[889.56 --> 892.24] Unblessed are the unmerciful.
[893.46 --> 894.82] God is forgiving,
[895.38 --> 898.14] but God is not mocked.
[898.24 --> 899.56] That's quoting Galatians 6.
[900.26 --> 901.20] Where divine forgiveness
[901.20 --> 903.36] does not have human consequences,
[903.58 --> 905.68] it becomes divine judgment.
[905.96 --> 908.20] So serious is the teaching of Jesus.
[908.20 --> 910.74] And I do think
[910.74 --> 911.62] that in the church,
[912.08 --> 913.10] we can be people
[913.10 --> 913.72] who want to hear
[913.72 --> 914.56] all the stuff
[914.56 --> 915.44] of the first half.
[915.76 --> 916.34] Thank you, Lord,
[916.42 --> 916.98] for your forgiveness.
[917.46 --> 918.84] Thank you for the Gospel of Grace.
[919.00 --> 920.18] Thank you for canceling my debt.
[920.36 --> 921.16] And we don't even want
[921.16 --> 922.00] to talk about
[922.00 --> 923.90] what that means for us
[923.90 --> 924.66] in all the broken,
[924.82 --> 925.64] fractured relationships
[925.64 --> 926.32] of our lives.
[926.46 --> 927.22] We aren't willing
