“Jesus said, ‘Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing.’ And the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice. v34 (NLT)
Jesus asked God to forgive the people who were putting him to death – Jewish leaders, Roman politicians and soldiers, by standards – and God answered that prayer by opening up the way of salvation. Even while Jesus was being nailed to the cross, we were on his mind. In the greatest expression of love, Jesus gave up his life as a sacrifice for me and for you! How have you responded to His sacrifice for you?
Today, have you surrendered your life to Jesus? He died for you, will you live for Him?
