Cries from the Cross: Father, Forgive Them (Part 1) — Pastor Rob | Lenten Series

In today’s episode of The Shepnaz Podcast, Pastor Rob begins a Lenten series, Cries from the Cross. As we enter this season of reflection, Pastor Rob helps us prepare our hearts by exploring Jesus’ first words spoken from the cross: “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” Through powerful storytelling, biblical context, and deep pastoral insight, Pastor Rob guides us into the meaning behind Jesus’ radical forgiveness—even as He endured immense suffering. This message reminds us of Christ’s love, sacrifice, and invitation to extend forgiveness in our own lives. Join us again tomorrow for the conclusion of this first message in the series. 🙏 Featuring: Pastor Rob 🌐 Learn more at: shepnaz.org & shepnaz.org/shepnow ✉️ Email us: podcast@shepnaz.org 👍 Like, comment, share, and subscribe to stay connected with the Shepnaz community! ⏱ YouTube Chapters 00:00 – Intro: Cries from the Cross 00:45 – Story of Martin Neimöller’s imprisonment 01:56 – Gallows as a teacher of the human heart 02:24 – Why Jesus’ words on the cross matter 03:03 – The turbulence leading to the crucifixion 03:59 – Betrayal, denial, and abandonment 04:39 – The brutality before the cross 05:05 – The physical reality of crucifixion 05:54 – Jesus’ response vs. typical crucifixion victims 06:12 – The seven statements from the cross 07:02 – The weight of final words 07:41 – Setting the timing of “Father, forgive them” 08:23 – Jesus forgives in the midst of suffering 08:47 – Did Jesus repeat this prayer? 09:17 – Three points about Jesus’ first words 09:36 – The Father’s painful role 10:49 – Why God didn’t intervene 11:49 – The cost of forgiveness 12:10 – Mercy instead of vengeance 12:51 – Forgiveness for every offender 13:29 – Our sins were present at the cross 14:15 – What forgiveness really means 15:15 – Forgiveness always costs something 15:44 – “They don’t know what they’re doing” 15:58 – Why Jesus said it out loud
