Father, Forgive Them; They Know Not What They Do!
Mar 4, 2020 • Kent W. Clark • Sermon Highlight
Jesus Christ never prayed a prayer that wasn't answered. So, when He said, "Father, forgive them; they know not what they do", whoever the "them" was, that prayer was answered!
He was praying for His elect; that means, if you're a Christian, He prayed for you!
But what do these powerful words mean?
It is at Calvary that we see the blindness of the human heart, and Christ's beautiful display of redeeming love. When man had done his worst; with wicked hands he dared to crucify the Lord of Glory; Christ covered the guilty heads of His murderers with the shield of His love, in order to secure them from the storm of the deserved wrath of God!
