Luke 23:34, 42-43
And Jesus prayed, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. And they divided His garments and distributed them by casting lots for them.
Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when You come in Your kingly glory!
And He answered him, Truly I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.
While Jesus was crucified:
He asked God to forgive those who put Him on the cross.
While He was crucified:
He forgave one of the men who was crucified along with Him.
While He was crucified:
He prayed.
I am pretty sure I could never have done even one of those things if I were crucified.
But Jesus did.
He came to serve until He took His last breath.
He came to save the lost.
He came to offer forgiveness.
And He came to offer a relationship with Almighty God.
One of the most impactful moments to me was His prayer of intercession for those who put Him on the cross.
He is in heaven interceding for us today.
His heart is bigger than the pages of the Bible depict.
When we don't feel loveable, these verses clearly demonstrate we are truly loved.
When we don't feel forgiven, these verses show us we are fully forgiven.
There is nothing we can do to separate us from the love of God and His Son.
Today I choose to feel loved and forgiven by Almighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ.
May you find the Lord’s heart is one of forgiveness and His love for you is endless.
Daily Prayer:
O Lord, thank You loving us so much that You would send Your Son to save us from ourselves. Thank You for His unrelenting love as He walked determinedly to His final mission on the cross. Thank You for His sacrifice that reaches each of us even two thousand years later. Thank You for choosing us to know You, Lord. Thank You for choosing us to seek You, learn about You, and worship You. Help us stay securely in Your hands, Father. Keep us Yours. Help us do Your will with all the determination Jesus had. Help us walk boldly into our calling. Help us not grow weary from the task. Strengthen us, Father, when we become weak. Grant us courage as we face our fears. Keep our eyes on You as we move through our day today, Lord. Help us bless someone this day. Thank You for hearing our prayer.
Answer: I AM the Great I AM, and My Son was sent to save all people from their sins, so they will know they are loved by Me and worship Me.
Response: Lord, may all Your people call upon Your Name and be saved. Amen
