Good morning! Last week in Bible study I had to lead the group based on the above scripture. I felt lead to share with you guys what I shared with our group. There are some walking around stuck in a place that seems like they've been there forever. Simply because they made a mistake. And that mistake brought negative consequences. They can't seem to forgive themselves. So here is what I shared with our Bible study group last week.
Even though the end of the scripture references the throwing of dice for Jesus clothing, I don't believe this is what he was referring to when spoke those words. I don't think he was talking about them mocking him. I believe Jesus was asking our Father to forgive the world of our sins. To forgive those who hung him on the cross. To forgive those who pierced his side. To forgive those who whipped him brutally. He said these words because he was there on the cross to fulfill the master plan of God to save Humanity. He was offering himself to God on behalf of the inquities of the world. And because the Bible tells us, that he who knew no sin, became sin for us that we might become the righteousness of God in him. Jesus was asking for the forgiveness of our sins, bringing us into the righteousness of God, our Father. We all know that humanity was separated from God because Adam sinned. But understand this, God had a plan! And that plan was Jesus.
Scripture tells us that if we confess our sins unto God he will forgive us. Jesus died for our sins. He paid the cost for our sins. Therefore, there is absolutely no reason for us not to forgive ourselves.
Glory to God! I pray that you have an amazing week!
