Father, forgive them, for they don't know what they are doing - Luke 23:34
Jesus always did something first before before commanding his disciples to do something
This included loving those who hated and persecuted him - Luke 6
Jesus went to the cross willingly and obediently without calling thousands of angels to destory the earth
He even did the more unthinkable - he asked the Father to forgive his excutioners
Who in your life seems eager to do you harm? Are you willing to forgive them as Jesus did?
