18:32 於是主人叫了他來,對他說:『你這惡奴才!你央求我,我就把你所欠的都免了,
18:33 你不應當憐恤你的同伴,像我憐恤你嗎?』
18:34 主人就大怒,把他交給掌刑的,等他還清了所欠的債。
18:35 你們各人若不從心裡饒恕你的弟兄,我天父也要這樣待你們了。」
Then his master summoned him and said to
him, 'You wicked servant! I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with
me. And should not you have had mercy on your fellow servant, as I had mercy on
you? ' And in anger his master delivered him to the jailers, until he should
pay all his debt.
So also my heavenly Father will do to every
one of you, if you do not forgive your brother from your heart."

不要以為「福音書」裡都是講人喜歡的話,當中也有警告的話,正如約拿受上帝的命令,是要去警告尼尼微人要悔改。同樣,主耶穌這段話也是要人悔改,進入上帝的真理之中。
人要能原諒人,才會蒙上帝的赦免。因為說實在的,我們虧欠上帝的實在太多,多到要靠他的獨生子耶穌基督的死才能還清呢!那嗎,別人有欠我們這麼多嗎?當然沒有!別人只不過是我們看不順眼,或有口角,或有小衝突。
也因此,我們要多思念主的恩,放下別人的得罪,使自己享受真平安。
