I Stand Forgiven

For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is his love for those who fear him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has he removed our transgressions from us.

Dear Father God, I am humbled by Jesus first words from the cross.  He has been beaten beyond recognition, flogged numerous times, crowned with a crown of thorns, and has been receiving nonstop insults from those who were watching.  He barely had any life left in Him.  Yet, His very first words from the cross were, “Father, forgive them…”
