parable's details
fellow servant
'he was brought' too ashamed to see God
'be patient with me'-- he is going to clear the dept, he just need more time
fellow servant did not for give the slave
master
'felt sorry'-- mercy
mercy and justice can coexist
forgiveness should not be a response to begging (aka should go beyond a response)
the servant ask for more time; the owner lift his dept <= more than what was asked for
threat others the way we wanted to be treated
what keep us from forgiving
grudge, don't want to let go
face-saving concern, do not want to appear weak
think he's undeserving
legitimizing, don't want to allow that behavior
a condescending attitude, thinking i am superior
freedom...
forgiveness is to let go
relativity(about moral standard)
we should push ourselves to improve
don't use someone worst than us as the standard
apology is not a prerequisite of forgiveness
ppl change for a better is not an condition for forgiveness
forgiveness
