I do know what you mean. My afternoon ended up getting busy. I work in a doctor’s office and some days I need my running shoes and other days I have a hard time not falling asleep!

The Atrocious Mathematics Of The Gospel
READ:
Matthew 18:23-35The master of that servant was moved with compassion, released him, and forgave him the debt. Matthew 18:27
From childhood we are taught how to succeed in the world of ungrace. You get what you pay for. The early bird gets the worm. No pain, no gain. I know these rules well because I live by them. I work for what I earn; I like to win; I insist on my rights. I want people to get what they deserve.
But Jesus parables about grace teach a radically different concept. In Matthew 18, no one could accumulate a debt as huge as the servant did (vv.23-24). This underscores the point: The debt is unforgivable. Nevertheless, the master let the servant off scot-free.
The more I reflect on Jesus parables proclaiming grace, the more tempted I am to apply the word atrocious to describe the mathematics of the gospel. I believe Jesus gave us these stories to call us to step completely outside our tit-for-tat world of ungrace and enter into Gods realm of infinite grace.
If I care to listen, I hear a loud whisper from the gospel that I did not get what I deserved. I deserved punishment and got forgiveness. I deserved wrath and got love. I deserved debtors prison and got instead a clean credit history. I deserved stern lectures and crawl-on-your-knees repentance. Instead, I got a banquet spread for me.
His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power has no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth and giveth and giveth again. Flint
Our sin is greatGods grace is greater.
