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.

CloseAt some point in our conversations with other people to bring them to Christ, we have to talk about Hell. The same Bible that speaks about Heaven also mentions Hell, so it's a necessary part of the Gospel, even if it is uncomfortable. When do we broach that conversation? And, just as importantly, how do we talk about Hell? Ultimately, it requires our judgment, but we have to make sure we talk about it in the right way to have the desired effect -- leading people to Jesus.
