Lenten Sermon Series: What So Good about Good Friday?
The First Word: Father Forgive Them
Reflections
Instead of genuine forgiveness, our generation has been taught the vague notion of “tolerance.” This is, at best, a low-grade parody of forgiveness. At worst, it’s a way of sweeping the real issues in human life under the carpet…. Jesus’ message [of forgiveness of sins] offers the genuine article and insists that we should accept no man-made substitutes.
