A Short Time With Larry 11-12-2020 Robe
Luke 23:34, Then Jesus said, “Father forgive them for they do not know what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots.”
Some Christians put a heavy theological load on people coming to Jesus, who grasp very little about Him. The scene at the Cross casts at least a little cold water on such ideas. Jesus forgave the soldiers despite their ignorance of what was taking place. Here’s Paul:
1Co 2:8, “which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.”
The Soldiers were hardened to death. As government executioners, they dealt in death daily. The rabbinical robe of Christ was the best of His garments, and one executioner won it in a lottery.
Lloyd Douglas wrote about this in his novel The Robe.
Are you hardened to your need of Jesus?
