How can I not forgive when Christ suffered more than I know and yet He forgave?
This question has been on my mind the last few days and especially as I meditate on His death on a cross. Christ suffered false accusations of guilt and rejection be His own people. He suffered on a tree, crucified with criminals and treated horribly. And yet, in all of this, He cried out, "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they do." (Luke 23:34)
How can I not forgive when He forgave those who beat Him and sentenced Him to die? And how can I not seek His forgiveness and seek to be as Christ who chose to be a sacrifice for our salvation from eternal punishment?
