info_outlineThe Prayer Request
“Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, because they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided his clothes and cast lots.”
Luke 23:34 CSB
.
Jesus is already on the cross with the 2 criminals beside him. He asks the Father to forgive his murderers. They were busy dividing his clothes and casting lots. He was interceding for them that they might be saved.
.
Forgive-to send away, to let go, depart
Jesus prayed out loud- Do you struggle with praying out loud?
There was no quiet place, no away spot
.
His intercession was a fulfillment of scripture
“Therefore I will give him the many as a portion, and he will receive the mighty as spoil, because he willingly submitted to death, and was counted among the rebels; yet he bore the sin of many and interceded for the rebels.”
Isaiah 53:12 CSB
.
He knew that His enemies were blind. He prayed for their twisted ignorant minds.
.
“A man is praised for his insight, but a twisted mind is despised.”
Proverbs 12:8 CSB
“Come to your senses and stop sinning; for some people are ignorant about God. I say this to your shame.”
1 Corinthians 15:34 CSB
.
Forgiveness is the beginning of the life of the soul with God.
.
The Answered Prayer
.
God answered the prayer because through the death of Jesus was the wash of forgiveness of sin and salvation to His murders and the whole world.
.
The centurion eyes and mind was open.
.
“So those who accepted his message were baptized, and that day about three thousand people were added to them.”
Acts 2:41 CSB
.
“But many of those who heard the message believed, and the number of the men came to about five thousand.”
Acts 4:4 CSB
.
Rescued from Wrath
“and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised from the dead — Jesus, who rescues us from the coming wrath.”
1 Thessalonians 1:10 CSB
.
Hope for Eternal life
“so that, having been justified by his grace, we may become heirs with the hope of eternal life.”
Titus 3:7 CSB
The Example
He interceded while dying, in suffering, in pain. Nothing should keep us from praying not even impending death
.
The Command
Forgive and Pray
.
“But I tell you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,”
Matthew 5:44 CSB
.
“bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you.
But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High. For he is gracious to the ungrateful and evil.”
Luke 6:28, 35 CSB
.
“Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Give careful thought to do what is honorable in everyone’s eyes.”
Romans 12:17 CSB
.
Digest questions ?
.
Who is it that I see as the murders in my life?
The people that I feel don’t deserve my prayer time/
How is my prayer life? How often am I interceding selfless prayer?
What has today’s message taught me about my response to pain, agony and trials?
Where do I need to seek forgiveness from the Father for my ignorance?
