The pardon granted by this king represents a divine forgiveness of all sin. Christ is represented by the king, who, moved with compassion, forgave the debt of his servant. Man was under the condemnation of the broken law. He could not save himself, and for this reason Christ came to this world, clothed His divinity with humanity, and gave His life, the just for the unjust. He gave Himself 245 for our sins, and to every soul He freely offers the blood-bought pardon. "With the Lord there is mercy, and with Him is plenteous redemption." Ps. 130:7.

Denne konges eftergivelse er et billede på, hvorledes Gud tilgiver al synd. Kongen, der ynkedes over sin tjener og eftergav ham gælden, fremstiller Kristus. Mennesket var under fordømmelse på grund af den overtrådte lov. Det kunne ikke frelse sig selv, og derfor kom Kristus til verden, tog menneskeskikkelse på og gav sit liv, den retfærdige for den uretfærdige. Han gav sig selv hen for vore synder og han tilbyder alle frit den dyrekøbte tilgivelse. "Hos Herren er miskundhed, hos ham er forløsning i overflod."
