08-10-2013 – Jesus addresses this situation in one of His parables found in Matthew 18. Here we have the situation where the king forgives a huge debt.  But once forgiven the person goes out and finds someone owing him a small amount and throws him in prison. Jesus says of this situation of unforgiveness that the person will be delivered to ‘tormentors’ until they learn about mercy. The tormentors are financial loss, anxiety, and depression. Thus the state of hopelessness is the outcome of those who do not have mercy towards others.
