While all of Jesus’ statements on the Cross were noteworthy, one is most representative of His heart for humanity: “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.” It shows the depth of God’s love in addition to His compassion for those we would consider His enemies.
But have you ever stopped to think who the “they” is in that passage? While most people would say it was either the Jews or the Romans (and they would be right), it could also be applied to ourselves. When we sin, we don’t always understand the real impact of what we’re doing. We need to. It’s what put Jesus on the cross to begin with.

CloseEvangelism becomes a lot easier once we realize the need for evangelism in the first place. But we already see the need, don't we? God tells us to do it and we do it -- simple as that, right? It should be, but the need for evangelism has its roots in a proper understanding of grace and mercy. Once we realize the gift that's been given to us, it should be natural for us to extend it to others. To put it simply, maybe the reason we don't evangelize as we should is because we fail to see our own need for salvation -- and in turn, fail to see the need of others.
