Changed By God To Make A Difference For God

How easy do you find it to forgive others? The answer, as Jesus reminds us in the parable of the wicked servant, depends on how you see yourself in God's holy economy. If we reduce God to some doting old grandparent who doesn't really give a fig about how we think, speak, and behave, we probably won't take the seriousness of our sin in God's eyes very seriously and we will in turn treat others who offend us accordingly, seeing no reason to forgive them. But that all changes if we listen to Jesus' parable in our gospel lesson. Check out what Fr. Maney has to say about it all and see what you think. Lectionary texts for today are Exodus 14.19-31; Psalm 114.1-8; Romans 14.1-12; Matthew 18.21-35.
