Jesus Forgives on the Cross

As Jesus hung on the cross, suffering unimaginable pain, He looked at the soldiers who nailed Him there and prayed, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." He didn't hold grudges or seek revenge. He chose forgiveness in His final moments. One of the criminals crucified beside Him asked, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus replied, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise." Forgiveness is available to everyone—even in your darkest moment.
