The Two Debtors
Those forgiven much love much.
Jesus compares two forgiven debts to reveal how forgiveness shapes gratitude and love.
Scripture
Luke 7:40-43
40 Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to tell you." He said, "Teacher, say on."
41 "A certain lender had two debtors. The one owed five hundred denarii, and the other fifty.
42 When they couldn't pay, he forgave them both. Which of them therefore will love him most?"
43 Simon answered, "He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most." He said to him, "You have judged correctly."
