On the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells a parable of the borrower who owed money to his creditor. Jesus warns that if you do not pay, you will be thrown into prison until you pay what you ought to pay. In a word, Jesus is refering to sanctification. The Bible teaches us to be holy, because God is holy. Paying our debt is a reference to our surrender of our personal will to our creditor who is God. He warns us not to holdback on Him or we will surely pay all that we ought to. This is true for everyone and everyone will pay in time, but the wise will surrender early.
Daily Prayer: Father, let us do all we ought to do, not to pay the debt, but out of love.
In Jesus name I pray Amen.
