Last words can say a lot about a person.
Christ made seven last statements on the cross that give us a window into the heart and mind of God.
Four wonders of the statement “Father, forgive them, they know not what they do”:
- The wonder of the address
- Jesus called God Father.
- Nothing Jesus was enduring changed His relationship with God.
- Is your faith shaken by the wickedness of sinners or the weakness of saints?
- Keep your eyes on the Father.
- The wonder of the appeal
- One of the most difficult things in the Christian life is to forgive.
- Jesus practiced what He preached.
- Forgiveness is the greatest experience in life.
- On the cross, Jesus prayed for lost sinners.
- The wonder of the argument
- Jesus presented an argument to God for why judgment should not fall on the people.
- The people that crucified Jesus were ignorant of who Jesus was and what they were doing.
- The wonder of the answer
- At Pentecost, the Holy Spirit convicted people of what they had done.
- Thousands of people got saved at Pentecost.
- Jesus held off judgment to give them that opportunity.
