In this powerful message, Stephen Davey reflects on Jesus’ first words from the cross: “Father, forgive them.” Jesus, in the midst of unimaginable suffering, prayed not for judgment but for mercy—even for His executioners. This prayer reveals His routine of communion with the Father, His request for humanity’s forgiveness, and His reasoning based on their ignorance. It fulfills prophecy, models divine love, and calls each of us to receive His grace and extend forgiveness to others. Jesus' words aren’t just historical—they’re personal: “Father, forgive [your name here].”
