04-21-2023 Matthew Ch 18 v-2327 Amount huge owed debtor began to cry
Gospel of Matthew Ch 18 v- 23 thru 27
23 That is why the kingdom of heaven may be likened to a king who decided to settle accounts with his servants. 24 When he began the accounting, a debtor was brought before him who owed him a huge amount. 25 Since he had no way of paying it back, his master ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, his children, and all his property, in payment of the debt. 26 At that, the servant fell down, did him homage, and said, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back in full.’ 27 Moved with compassion the master of that servant let him go and forgave him the loan.
The way of the world surely was different in Jesus’ time. People owed kings their lives because the kingdom supported entire families making sure they were employed, housed and fed until one day the king decides to collect on debts he knows families can’t pay back. Is this the ploy to see how one would react? You know, will you be nice or upset or will you beg or succumb to how the king will collect? Maybe the king just wanted a variety of servants to pay their fare share either one your reaction is how one could dare to overcome this burdensome snare. People will concede by the way you react. Tears flowing wailing and lamenting to our Lord comes to mind as fact seeking forgiveness as you dance with the Divine in-kind. God surely seeks this earnest reaction when saying I’m sorry no matter the crime each time God knows our inability to react in any way but human unless your denial will be so evident that instant judgement can and will take place for those who are ready to meet this fate. Death is waiting for those who don’t believe that Eternal Life is the offer for saying I’m sorry often leaning on His need to concede life as Redeemed but still willing to bleed for others grace need. Amen.
Join me as we pray our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and rose for me. Please forgive me as I forgive others. I share You as my Lord and Savior seeking to live your Will in all things. Prayers for wife Toni and my mother Betty pray for our children especially our two oldest Alexandra & Allen; Julian, Gabriel and Jeffrey and our grandchildren Oliver, Julian and Elliott. We pray for Boston aka Keith. We pray for those we’ve said we’d pray for and those who’ve asked us to pray for them. We pray for the dying as we do each day Lord give them peace in their last breath. Silence for the prayers of others dealing with the war in Ukraine. In the Holy Spirit we pray our brothers in Kairos especially a prayer for our men in blue. We pray for Holy Mother Church. We pray for our Holy Mother for the sister of Jackie. Daily prayers for our neighbor Thelma. Prayers for a friend and his wife for a baby to be born. In Jesus Precious Blood by His Name we pray. Amen.

**Amount huge owed debtor began to cry**
King likened to Heaven’s Kingdom why
Servants his accounts settle none can deny
Amount huge owed debtor began to cry
Pay no way sell property children and wife to comply
Homage paid to king on his knees
Me have patience he said asking a big please
In full I will give you all I owe indeed
Master’s compassion moved loan forgave in full king concedes
