WORDS FROM THE CROSS: “Father, forgive them…”

“Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do…” (Luke 23:34a).

It is beyond my comprehension the love that nailed our Savior to the cross. No book or movie could ever capture its reality. We weren’t present at this horrible scene.  Our sins nailed our loving Savior to the Cross no matter what people want to debate about this event.

To utter the words of our verse in the midst of His suffering went beyond compassion.

The greatest love ever demonstrated was on display, and the people were not fully aware He was the Messiah. His enemies didn’t take His life; Christ willing gave it for the sins of mankind. That would include your sins and mine. Praise God for His boundless love.
