FATHER, FORGIVE THEM

LUKE 23:34

Then saith JESUS, 'Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.' And they parted His raiment, and cast lots.


FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO. 
JESUS is the victim of the cruelest form of execution. JESUS is the victim of the cruelest form of rejection. JESUS is the victim of the cruelest form of betrayal. JESUS is alone; naked and alone. He cries out, in His agony, for the Father to forgive those who betrayed Him, rejected Him and crucified Him. His petition to the Father rings down the ages right to the very moment in which we live. He is saying to us, right now, FATHER, FORGIVE THEM; FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO.
Today is Good Friday. Let these words of JESUS ring in our heart and let these words of JESUS be our intercession for others. Today, let these words of JESUS be the action we take as we seek to serve the living GOD in the land of the living.
