THE SERMON NOTE:
-Luke 23:32-34: Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with Him (Jesus) to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified Him, along with the criminals-one on His right, the other on His left. Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." (Jesus, even after everything He had gone through, how He had been treated so horribly, flogged or beaten beyond recognition; a massive and sharp crown of thorns crushed down over His head, creating massive and continual blood loss-being spat upon-completely humiliated; being crucified to a massive wooden cross-continually pulling Himself up and down to get a breath-dying from suffocation and heart congested failure-an overwhelming loss of blood; yes; after all of this, before His physical death, He looked out at the crowd , He looked at you, at me, and still forgave us all; He could have called down a multitude of angels to come and get Him off that cross, but He didn't; His unconditional love for us kept Him there).
