Creative activities based on the Bible story of The two debtors
The Parable of the Two Debtors in Luke 7:41-43 is a story told by Jesus to Simon the Pharisee, who had invited Jesus to his home for a meal. Jesus tells Simon a parable about two debtors, one who owed a large amount of money and the other who owed a smaller amount. When neither of them could repay their debts, the creditor canceled both debts. Jesus then asks Simon which debtor would love the creditor more, to which Simon responds that the one who had the greater debt canceled would love the creditor more.
This parable teaches us about the nature of forgiveness and the gratitude that comes from being forgiven. It challenges us to examine our own attitudes towards forgiveness and to show mercy and grace to others, just as God has shown us.
