Forgiveness Beyond Measure: Our Debt Paid in Full

“Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me?” (Matthew 18:21) We often treat forgiveness like baseball—three strikes and you’re out. But Jesus sets a higher standard, telling Peter to forgive not seven times, but seventy-seven. He then shares a story of a master cancelling a 10,000-talent debt—equivalent to 150,000 years of wages or over $7.3 billion today. This illustrates the boundless mercy of God. Because of Christ’s sacrifice on the cross, your entire sin debt—past, present, and future—is paid in full. That is a truth you can stand on.
