The Measure Of Forgiveness

Once there was a King who had many servants who worked for him and had to return a large amount of money at a certain period of time. One day the King discovered that one servant owed him a huge amount.

King: Bring that Man to me, for he must pay me the money he owes.

Servant: (the servant came trembling and afraid.), My king I don't have money.(he pleaded)

King: Take this man, sell him as a slave, then take everything he has, sell it and bring me the money.

Servant: O King, Please wait a little while and I will pay you everything.

(As the King looked at his servant. He was moved with compassion and decided to release the servant and forgave him of his debt.)

King: You may go to your family now. You don't have to pay me anything.

(The servant went out happily. But on his way, he saw a friend who owed him a small amount of money not as much as he had owed the King.)

Servant: (Forgetting how the King was kind and compassionate to him, he grabbed his friend and demanded.)When are you going to pay the money you owe me.?!!

Poor Friend: Wait, just give me a little while and I will pay you everything.

(Without a thought, the servant took the poor friend and threw him in cold, dark prison until he pays him his debt. The report reached the King and the King became Angry at the Servant.)

King: O thou wicked servant I forgave You all that You owe, just because You asked. Shouldn't You have felt sorry and have mercy for your fellow friend who owed you little.

Why are you so Merciless to your fellow yet I was so Merciful to you?.
