Luke 12:59

till thou hast paid the very last mite Mite is lepton(minutum), the smallest of all coins, Mark 12:42. If it be asked, -can this ever be paid?" the answer of course is, as far as the parableis concerned, -it depends entirely on whether the debt be great or small." As far as the applicationof the parable is concerned, the answer lies out of the contemplated horizon of the illustration, nor is there any formal answer to it. But if it be asserted that noman's debt to God, which he has incurred by his sins, however -common to man," can ever be paid by him, we are at least permitted to find hope in the thought that Christ has paid our debt for us (Matthew 20:28; 1 Timothy 2:6). The generallesson is that of which Scripture is full, "Seek ye the Lord while He maybe found," Is. Iv. 6;Psalms 32:6; Hebrews 4:7.
