It is only the start. As I've said our example is Jesus. Heprayed for his killers, so we too pray for those who have offended against us, we pray intelligently for there good and we also offer up our feelings about the offender and the incident. This is far harder than seeking feelings of forgiveness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Jesus laid down his life, and sinful men took it from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the flogging, the beatings, the loss of blood from numerous wounds, the trauma, growing exhaustion etc etc had nothing to do with Jesus's death. We say of those who die in wars that they laid down their lives, they paid the ultimate price and they did. Jesus also laid down his life, he paid the ultimate price for us. Yes there is a supernatural dimension in that he could have come down off the Cross, he could have summons 12 legions of angels, but he chose not to. He had the authority to end his life, but he used that authority when his fully human body was at deaths door. He chose the moment of his death, but he was dying because of what had been done to his physical body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched a video of two cute 5 or 6 year old Black girls beat up a 4 or 5 year old White Girl who just wanted to play and be friends, I am sick of this going on in America, kids are being trained to hate by schools and media and yes our Gov. Unless we take a stand nothing will change prayer without action is dead! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
