The Word of Pardon

Luke 23:32-38

The Roman Way With Criminals
What Would Jesus Do?
Truth Writ Large in Ironic Jest

There is a pardon for sin because, although they who took Jesus with cruel hands to crucify him didn't know what they were doing (and hardly would they have crucified the Lord of Glory if they had known [1 Corinthians 2:8].) God knew what he was doing so that Christ the King was delivered up to be crucified by God's own definite plan and foreknowledge [Acts 2:23].
