Good Friday

Good Friday

Easter weekend is a special time to remember Jesus’ death on the cross, and His resurrection three days later. Just before He died on that first Good Friday, Jesus spoke a prayer from Luke 23:34: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” While in the most physical and spiritual pain of His life, His heart was to pray for the forgiveness of those who had harmed Him. This week, as you think about the cross, think also of Jesus’ prayer. Though you may be upset because others have hurt you, choose to forgive. Few things cause the world to see Jesus more than when we forgive from the heart those who have caused us pain. Now that’s something to pray about!
