VERSE:
Luke 23:34
34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.” And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice.
LESSON:
Forgiveness - Forgiving until it hurts!
In this verse Jesus is forgiving...even unto the bitter end. Even as the soldiers prepared for his final execution, and were busy gambled for his garments...Jesus continued to forgive. What kind of Love and Loyalty to God would it take for you and me to react that way if we found ourselves in a similar situation? I can't even manage to act that way when someone cuts me off on the highway. Our goal in life should be to Love and cherish our relationship with God so much...that we will forgive until it hurts!
