Amazing Fact in the Bible: Forgiveness verses Revenge

On the month of March, Good Friday was observed throughout the world. It is the supreme sacrifice of Lord Jesus who shed His sinless blood for the deliverance of the whole mankind. While Jesus Christ carried His cross to the place of crucifixion, He was beaten, ruthlessly. Perhaps He was hungry and tired almost on the verge of collapsing, because carrying the heavy cross up hill is not a joke. He must be having a splitting headache with profuse bleeding since it was pierced with a crown of thorns.
When He reached near the place, the Roman soldiers and other Jews who were against Him hurled insults at Him and then they nailed Him on the cross. Perhaps they started with the two hands and then His two foots were put together and then the big iron nails came hammering down on His bare body. Jesus cried out in pain. The sun was beating down on His face mercilessly. What should be the reaction?
Normally any one would have retaliated with vengeance, spit out curses against the person with never ending fury.
Yet, Jesus’ reaction to the situation was completely opposite. In place of anger and curses there was a statement on His lips which is stands out through the ages. The wonderful words were “Father, Forgive them for they do not know what they are doing”. This profound sentence makes Jesus unique because He not only taught about loving people inspite of but He demonstrated His love though His kind words. There was no revengeful thoughts in His heart has He hung on the cross.
This is called amazing because it is hardly possible for any human nor such event ever took place in human history other than what is mentioned above. He forgave those who hated Him and prayed for them. Instead of curse there was blessing on His lips. Isn’t that an amazing fact?
