Matthew 18:23-35 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened to a certain king, which would take account of his servants.… 1. Sin is a vast debt, or an exceeding great evil in respect of God, against whom it is committed. 2. Sin is a vast debt, considering what wrong it hath done to God; it is a crossing His will, a violation of His law, a contemning His authority, a despising of His sovereignty and dominion, a defacing His image, and resisting His spirit, abuse of His patience, and a slighting of all His love, mercy, and goodness. 3. Sin is a great debt, because all men, yea, all the saints of the earth, nor angels of heaven can pay this debt. 4. Sin is a vast debt, because it exposes the sinner to eternal wrath and vengeance. (Benjamin Keach.) Parallel Verses KJV: Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. |
