As we come to the end of Holy Week, we would remember how much prayer was a part of Jesus' life. He prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. He also prayed from the cross.
It's good for us to pause and note for what he prayed. He prayed for forgiveness upon those who had condemned him and also nailed him to the cross. Can you imagine someone being put to death and then being concerned about the well-being of one's executioners? Apparently, Jesus did. That was what his whole life was about. It was about the well-being of all people and their salvation. Forgiveness was the powerful force for which he came.
How would you face a difficult time? Would you be all caught up in yourself - especially if someone had done you wrong? Or could you be praying for another person's well-being?
On Good Friday, we remember the spirit in which Jesus died. Even in his time of suffering, he did not give up on God, but conversed with God. That is why pray is appropriate in such trying times. For what will you pray?
