Easter: As We Are Forgiven, So Should We Forgive

One of Christ’s final words, as he laid on the cross was, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” Luke 23:34

There could be no greater sin than the killing of Christ.

And no greater travesty to man’s life than to have your life taken from you.

Yet, here is Christ; even in his last breath of life, he asks God, his father, to forgive them. Living to the end, the example he wants us to follow.

Christ was able to do this because of his great compassion for people. His compassion gave him great wisdom towards understanding others. He understood that they did not know what they were doing from their level of perception, and because of this, he was able to forgive them.

It can be very hard for us to forgive. Ego finds strength in unforgiveness and punishment. It helps us to feel strong, but it is a false and often misguided sense of strength. Judgment and anger act like filters. It is when we are living in our own fears. We can’t see the truth. We can create enemies and wrongdoers out of people who may not wish you any harm.

We don’t realize what a prison we have created for ourselves when we refuse to forgive. However, when we are open to healing relationships and friendships, nothing feels better than reconcile with a best friend, relative, or partner.

When we connect to the light within us and see through loving eyes, we can see clearly. Through compassion, we can see through Christ’s vision to understand that people do things from their level of perception or why they do the things they do.

When we see through the lens of Love or Christ’s vision and his unconditional love for us, it can help us heal our relationships with family and friends. When we act Christ-like as a practice with our own forgiveness and unconditional love, we can create miracles in our lives.

Easter is a great time to honor Christ and be more Christ-like by being more compassionate, loving, and forgiving.
