Good Friday
Day 6: “Forgive Them”
We have all made mistakes that hurt our relationship with God. But Jesus suffered in Gethsemane and on the cross so that we could repent, be forgiven of our mistakes, and restore our harmonious relationship with God. Even in His agony on the cross, the Savior prayed that those who mocked and persecuted Him would be forgiven.
