Amen on that posting. Though I am not sure this is what Jesus meant with this Parable, I agree whole heartedly with your conclusions.

Especially the contrast between Judgement and mercy. All anxiety comes from our fear of Judgement. John 3:18 says "whoever believes in Him is not condemned...." . Yet many christians live in fear of condemnation, instead of faith in the redemption which Jesus brought us on the cross. Assurance comes when we surrender all to Him. When He becomes Lord, and Master of our lives.
God bless
