A debt we cant pay

 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
²² Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven. ²³ Therefore the kingdom of heaven is like a certain king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. ²⁴ And when he had begun to settle accounts, one was brought to him who owed him ten thousand talents. ²⁵ But as he was not able to pay, his master commanded that he be sold, with his wife and children and all that he had, and that payment be made. ²⁶ The servant therefore fell down before him, saying, ‘Master, have patience with me, and I will pay you all.’ ²⁷ Then the master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt.    Matthew 18: 21-27.

Peter was asking about how many times it would be needed to forgive his neighbors. So Jesus told him this parable. This really hit home yesterday when Michelle talked about it at Crusade. This man owed a debt that He could not pay, He knew that the king would sell him along with his wife and kids. He went back to the king to tell him. He owed about 6 million dollars. He fell on his face before the king and the king forgave him of his debts.

It really hit hard last night. We are like that man, we have a debt that we cannot afford to pay back. Our debt is sin. We couldnt pay for it so Christ in His glory sttod in for us and died and took penality for us so that we could walk free. What really hit home was the We Can Never Repay back part. I can never give or pay God back for what He has done in my life. I can give him my heart and live for him. Thats the only thing He ask's of us. He calls us to share in that faith as well. It is my hope that you do that
