The most difficult thing in life is forgiveness. Especially when we are so deeply hurt and wounded by someone’s sin or crime, it is almost impossible for us to forgive them in our own human love. But today we are going to learn that when it was the most difficult time to forgive, Jesus prayed for the forgiveness of sins of those who crucified him. Jesus’ forgiving prayer reveals the very purpose of his death on the cross most powerfully. Jesus’ forgiving prayer on the cross truly reveals God’s divine and unconditional love–beyond our understanding and imagination–which has power to change sinners’ hearts.
