You will find as you look back on your life that the moments that stand out above everything else are the moments when you have done things in a spirit of love. --Henry Drummond
Luke 23:34, “… Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.”
During His hours on the cross, even though Jesus had been beaten beyond recognition, mocked, and ridiculed, He reached out to those around Him in love. He spoke to His mother with compassion. He spoke to one of the thieves with the promise of heaven. He cried out to the Father to forgive those who lied, putting Him on the Cross.
What we can learn of this spotlight of Jesus on the Cross… Even in our dark hours we can show love to those around us. Whether they be our foes or our friends. It may be hard for us but I am reminded what Philippians 4:13 says, I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. So, show some love on this Friday!
