The lesson of the parable of the unforgiving servant is that forgiveness should be extended to others just as it has been given to us by a higher power. It teaches the importance of showing mercy and compassion towards others, as we have also been shown mercy and compassion.

How does the parable of the unforgiving servant help to forgive as well as the difficulty in reconciliation?
Jesus told this parable, (Matthew 18.23 to 35), to the disciples after Peter asked Jesus how many times he should forgive his brother. The parable shows us how forgiving our heavenly Father is. 10.000 talents is a lot by today's reckoning. If in gold, it is more than six and a half billion US dollars, and if in silver, it is 65 million US dollars. It is the sort of debt that no man could repay, (like our sins). The fellow servant owed this forgiven servant about $1.60 in our money. This parable well illustrates how easy it is to forgive our brother ($1.60 debt), when we consider how much our heavenly father has forgiven us, (many millions of dollars). The parable also shows us how we cannot mess with God and get away with it.
