By:
Animated Stories from the New Testament | Animated Bible
Teach about mercy, compassion, respect for authority and other positive character traits on the classic Parable of the Unmerciful Servant through the Nest Learning DVD Forgive Us Our Debts!
Jesus shows his love by teaching that forgiveness is from God, as he instructs Peter to catch a fish where he’ll find a coin in it’s mouth to pay the temple tax. Jesus teaches about a man who owes his King ten thousand talents, which is an enormous amount of money, that he can’t pay. The King takes pity and forgives him of the debt. Yet, the forgiven man leaves immediately casts another, who owes him almost nothing, into prison.

How many times should we forgive? Find out in Forgive Us Our Debts!
Forgive Us Our Debts combines a classic parable about forgiveness with the teachings of Jesus to His disciples. Jesus teaches Peter about the power to forgive and how to control his anger at those who do him wrong. Christ tells the story about a man who owes his King ten thousand talents to demonstrate that the ability to forgive comes from our Heavenly Father. In the end, the King takes pity and forgives the man of the debt. Ironically, however, the pardoned man leaves the King’s presence and immediately casts one of his own debtors into prison.
Main Characters:Jesus, Peter, the other Disciples; temple tax collectors; the Wise King, the foolish Hazor, and the good but poor Micah.
Scriptural References:
Matthew 17:22-27, Matthew 18:21-35 & Mark 11:25
Overall Theme:
Through examples and parables, Jesus leads Peter to learn the power of forgiveness and how to control his anger at those who do him wrong. Through Peter’s experience, we learn the lesson of forgiveness.
Summary:
As Peter looks over the day’s excellent catch of fish, two demanding tax collectors come up to his boat. Mocking Peter’s faith in Christ, they tell Peter they will return the next day to collect their tax for the temple.
Jesus tells the angry Peter to forgive the tax collectors and to go to the sea and cast in his line. There, as Jesus foretold, Peter catches a fish. In the mouth of the fish is the money to pay the tax. However, Peter is still angry and pays the tax with bitterness in his heart.
Peter asks Jesus”How many times do I forgive a man who has done me wrong?” Jesus tells Peter that he must forgive everyone not just once, or seven times, but “seven times seventy times.”
Jesus relates the parable of the foolish and proud Hazor who owes a large debt to the King. Unable to pay the debt, the man begs the King’s forgiveness. The merciful King forgives Hazor of the debt.
Leaving the palace, Hazor meets Micah, a poor man who owes him money. Hazor insists Micah pay him immediately. “Just a little more time,” Micah pleads. Hazor, although forgiven by the King, angrily refuses to forgive and sends Micah to prison.
When the King finds out about Hazor’s hard-hearted act, he orders Micah released and arrests Hazor in his place. The King tells Hazor, “I would love to show you mercy, but how can I forgive you, when you refuse to forgive others?”
Peter interprets the parable to Jesus, explaining that the wise King represents God, and His forgiveness is there for all of us, if we can accept it and freely forgive others.
Peter forgives the dumb-founded tax collectors. Peter is now able to spread this new message of forgiveness to others, even to the tax collectors themselves.
Background:
In Forgive Us Our Debts, we see Jesus’ message of forgiveness in action. This powerful video reminds us that we are all debtors graciously forgiven by God. Jesus paid the debt we owed for our sins, and He calls us to respond by extending similar grace to others.
