Luke 23: 33, 34
And when they were come to the place which is called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left.
Then said 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 hung between two thieves, suffering in great anguish surrounded by death and disinterest on the part most of the crowd. The soldiers parted his raiment and cast lots (a game) for it. They played a game in the middle of horror, like Nero fiddling while Rome burned.
The Mother of JESUS, Mary of Magdalen and John stood at the foot of the cross, broken in the heart and stunned in their own agony of heart and mind; a mother watching her son die, a friend watching her best friend suffer, a disciple watching the one on whom he put his hope, die as a criminal. What a horrible time for them!
This is JESUS, in His Glory, King of Heaven dying for us. And His words ring out over the whole universe, piercing the darkness of sin with the Sword of the Spirit, the Word of GOD; Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. Such love is this for all the world; such wondrous love is this, that the Son of GOD, the King of Glory would suffer and die, so that we might be forgiven.
What love is this, that the Father gave his only Son to be the sacrifice for the sin of the whole world! LOVE LED JESUS TO CALVARY; LOVE DIVINE. JESUS suffered willingly for OUR salvation. JESUS bore the agony on OUR behalf; JESUS paid the price for OUR sin, carrying it on the cross and nailing it with His Blood.
While the world played games and the crowd was entertained and disinterested; while the Mother and friends of JESUS looked on in horror, JESUS cried out, Father forgive them.
JESUS broke the chains that bound the world to death; JESUS opened the door of life for those who come to GOD through Him. JESUS paid it all, ALL TO HIM I OWE; He shed His precious Blood so that all of us would live and move and have our being forever. His cry canceled the words of the accuser of the brethren, who accused all humanity before the Father day and night. The Word of GOD ended the plan of Satan.
The WORD of GOD, JESUS, will end the plan of Satan in your life, too. JESUS looks into your heart and says, Father, forgive them; and the Father erases every sin and we all are cleansed by the Blood of JESUS, when we come to Him.
COME UNTO JESUS, ALL YOU WHO ARE WEARY AND HEAVY LADEN AND JESUS WILL GIVE YOU REST.
