In Part IX of our Colossians series, Pastor Scott returns to Colossians 3:13, “as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive,” and walks us through Jesus’ parable of the unforgiving servant in Matthew 18. A servant is forgiven a debt he could never repay, then refuses to show even a fraction of that mercy to someone who owes him a little. Pastor Scott challenges us to see ourselves in the story, to pray David’s humble prayer from Psalm 139, “Search me, O God,” and to rest in how God sees us in Christ: forgiven, holy, and righteous. Mercy received is meant to become mercy given.
