Episode: The Last Words of Jesus | Pt 1: Why Did Jesus Forgive His Enemies? | Luke 23:34; Psalm 103:8-13
Description: We begin our new message series, The Last Words of Jesus, as Pastor Joel Tomkinson leads us in reflecting on this powerful moment of Christ on the cross. What might be seen as mere “dying words” instead reveals the heart of Christ and what it means for us to live as people shaped by that same forgiveness. Luke 23, Jesus speaks His first words from the cross: “Father, forgive them.” Instead of anger or revenge, He responds to His enemies with mercy. These words reveal why forgiveness is at the center of the Gospel.
