[8] 25 dAnd since he could not pay, his master ordered him eto be sold, with his wife and fchildren and all that he had, and payment to be made.

1) We NEED forgiveness!
>> I have an insurmountable debt that I can't pay.
>>My sin is staked before God.
>>God forgives lavishly.
2) We HAVE to forgive.
>>Forgive those who don't deserve it.
>>Forgive completely. Remember it as forgiven.
>>Forgive lavishly. The whole vat of forgiveness.
>> Them getting away with what they did to me. I give my right up to revenge. Leave it to God.
3) Refusal to forgive.
>>I'm the prisoner. They've got me because they control my mind.
>>Hauling around junk.
>>Throw off the control I am holding on to.
