Jesus Faces Death—The Crucifixion (Part 5)

Jesus’ only words, as they nailed him to the crossbeam, were, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."  He could not have so mercifully and lovingly interceded for his executioners if such thoughts of affectionate devotion had not been the mainspring of all his life of unselfish service.  The ideas, motives, and longings of a lifetime are openly revealed in a crisis.
