“If your gospel isn’t touching others, it hasn’t touched you.” (Curry R. Blake)
What is my gospel (message of good news to the world)?
If God’s forgiveness does not make me forgiving, have I really accepted God’s forgiveness?
If God’s mercy does not make me merciful, have I really appreciated God’s mercy?
If God’s generosity does not make me generous, have I really understood God’s generosity?
If God’s patience does not make me patient, have I really sensed God’s patience?
This seems to be the point of Jesus’ story in Matthew 18:21-35, the unmerciful servant.
