Did you know God gets angry?
This man was getting older and wanted to adjust his finances toward retirement. He decided to ask any who borrowed from him to pay back all debt. One man had borrowed over a million dollars. He told him he had to pay up. Since the man was not able, he began the process of taking everything he owned. The borrower pleaded and begged for mercy, saying he would repay every dollar.
The older man had pity and told him he would drop the suit and forgave his entire debt. Nothing had to be repaid. The man in debt was now completely free.
The man now free from debt went that day to collect a debt of a few thousand dollars. Even though the man begged for more time he still took him to court and began pressing charges to get his money.
The older man soon heard about his evil behavior. He went and found him told him he had changed his mind.
"Shouldn't you have mercy on your fellow servant, just as I had mercy on you?" Matthew 18:33
God is the older man. Those who trust God are the ones who are free from a debt of all the wrong things that have been done against God. The man with the smaller debt would be those who have done minor things against us.
Hard to believe that I could be angry with any who have done wrong things against me. Those who are forgiven must be forgivers. Once we realize how much God has forgiven us, we must forgive others.
God is angry with any who cannot forgive as they have been forgiven. Such a freedom is found as we live realizing we have been forgiven so much. Millions.
