The last words of Jesus become a bedrock upon which the Christian faith stands – FATHER FORGIVE THEM....For the Christian forgiveness isn’t optional – as we follow the model of Jesus our Lord and Savior. Even in His darkest hour He knew that He MUST forgive, so He could stand before the Father without the stain of resentment and hate. So as we contemplate these words during Good Friday let us draw strength to FORGIVE too - Luke23 : 34www.cwc.org.au
