The world has currently been invited to attend a global courtroom of cases against two criminals. Like every trial, the case has to be judged by a team of individuals. The only problem is- is that all the jurors are guilty.
Just like 2000 years ago the center of the world was focused on a similar trial. The trial involved two notorious criminals hung on trees with the innocent judge also being accused. The problem of those watching was that those being executed was an enigma of their own hidden secrets. They booed, others cursed, and yet others hurled painful stones.
Those within the so-called religious community watched as they hurled insults to the judge they have just convicted, while the entire Roman brigade harnessed their shining swords executing their punishment on both the innocent and guilty. Yet the crowds were drunk cheering on their favorite avatar as if they were in a gladiator spectacle.
How do you judge two evils, when the wages of sin is death? How do we judge one another when we are all guilty? While you, and I await the outcome of this imperfect judicial system know that the innocent judge screamed, and breathed his last by saying “Father forgive them for they don’t know what they are doing.”
Luke 23:32-34
32 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. 33 When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals - one on his right, the other on his left. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
