DP #11: I've finally discovered a use for those Bibles hotel rooms!

It was difficult for the servant to understand that his master was even setting an example because when the master represents God, the servant's actions are executed as a common human's would be. The parable Jesus uses here is another metaphor for the Kingdom of God, explaining God's forgiving nature in spite of the careless closed mindedness humans perform; the example here being both the first servant and Peter's willingness to forgive his brother only seven times. Jesus' point is that humans don't fully comprehend that God has set and is always setting examples for us to follow: ones so basic, like love and forgiveness, that occur without our even knowing it. It should be expected that the first servant condemn his fellow servant when the parable is set up with such a narrow (and, in Jesus' eyes, common) human mind in need of consciousness of God's example in order to be fully compassionate.
