Jesus provides the supreme model of forgiveness! When JESUS hung on the cross, (condemned to death by evil men who plotted to murder him, who produced lying witnesses to convict him), as he surveyed the howling mob assembled to cheer his suffering, Jesus the Son of God, the One who knew no sin, in his dying moments uttered words that still ring across the centuries: “Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they are doing” (Luke 23:34). Those 11 words sweep away all our shabby excuses! They reveal the barrenness of our heart. Many of us say, “If only the people who hurt me would show some remorse, some sorrow, then maybe I would forgive them.” But since that rarely happens, we use that as an excuse to continue in our bitterness, our anger, and/or our desire to get even.
