Father Forgive Them, For They Know Not What They Do
How can we forgive others who have hurt us, or hurt someone we love? Can we really follow Jesus' example of forgiveness when He forgave those who tortured and crucified Him while He still hung on the cruel cross? Is it possible for us to demonstrate that kind of true forgiveness in this mortal life?..
This is exactly what Charlie Kirk's widow, Erika Kirk, did when she spoke at her husband's funeral. She forgave her husband's killer, "Because that Is what Christ did, and what Charlie would do". This is indeed, exactly what Christ did, demonstrating a perfect example of what he taught us to do as well.
It may not be easy, but we know that when we place our faith in Christ and draw upon His strength, we can do all things. When we let go of resentment and see everyone around us as our brothers and sisters, (who may be "hostages", rather than "accomplices") instead of as our enemies, we can experience peace that passes all understanding...
Thanks for listening! Keep on Strivin'!
