Title: Father, forgive them
Volumes have been written about the seven utterances of the Lord Jesus on the cross, but the silence of the Lamb those six fateful hours had been largely ignored.
We know from experience that pain becomes more pronounced when it is endured in silence. But, still, we shall never know the sorrow of the sinless Savior, when he was crushed under the weight of man’s indifference to the price that had to be paid for the redemption of the sinner’s soul.
But how should we know, when, instead of living our days at the foot of the cross, as a witness to our intimacy with the Crucified in his agony, we opted to get the most out of life, and exchanged the stillness of Calvary for the gaiety of the world?
