The Parable Project: The Unmerciful Servant (Ep 139)

In this Parable Project episode, we unpack the Parable of the Unmerciful Servant from Matthew 18:21-35. When Peter asks how many times we should forgive, Jesus answers with radical grace: “Not seven times, but seventy-seven times.” Together they explore what that means in a world that celebrates vengeance over mercy.Drawing from cultural and historical context, commentaries, and practical insight, Laura and I reveal how this parable illustrates God’s limitless forgiveness and calls believers to reflect that same mercy toward others. We discuss Peter’s question, the king’s compassion, the servant’s hypocrisy, and the consequences of withholding forgiveness.
