It’s been taking me a long time to learn, but I’ve figured
out that I can figure myself out. I know
when I’m about to do something that will later require me to seek forgiveness.
The Lord Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they know
not what they do.” But those who crucified Him should have known what they were
doing. They did not need to get caught up with the whim of the mob. They did not
need to forget about the miraculous evidence that Jesus gave which demonstrated
His deity. And as human beings, they could have had
compassion.
God was so gracious. All those who were demanding that the
Lord Jesus be crucified, but who at Pentecost realized their guilt, God
forgave.
The Apostle Paul himself claimed ignorance as a reason for
his pre-conversion behavior. (I Tim 1:13)
As Believers, let us do everything we can to not behave
ignorantly. As Paul writes in Romans 6:1 & 2 “Shall we continue to sin that
grace (forgiveness) may abound? God forbid!”
