Missing
the Point
“. . . Jesus said, Father forgive them, for they do not
know what they do. . .” [Luke 23:34, NKJV].
These were some of the last words Jesus said on the
Cross. Was he asking that people should be forgiven for ignorant action of some
sin?
If so, then those Roman soldiers and others could claim
to be not guilty. But other scriptures indicate we are guilty and have missed
the point.
So, what was Jesus saying? He was not saying that Judas,
Pilate, Romans or even us can claim ignorance of wrong doing as an excuse.
I think he was saying that humanity knows what it’s doing
wrong, but cannot or will not realize just how severe the wrong and guilt.
Therefore, we NEED a Savior.
Maybe that’s a clearer definition of evil: it knows it’s
wrong when it thinks it’s right.
