From the cross, Jesus prayed for those who crucified Him, “Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do” ( Luke 23:34 34 And Jesus said, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And parting his garments among them, they cast lots. ). How could God’s old covenant people be forgiven for rejecting His promised Messiah and for putting Christ to death? In this sermon, R.C. Sproul considers the words that the Apostle Peter declared to the Israelites, stressing the critical need for repentance and the grace of God in forgiving sinners who trust in Christ alone for their salvation. This sermon was preached by R.C. Sproul at Saint Andrew’s Chapel in Sanford, FL.
