"Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing."
Jesus Christ embraced suffering to liberate humanity from evil ways and instill in them the supreme qualities of peace, forgiveness, and restoration of good relations, not only between man and man, but also between man and nature. "Father, forgive them for they do not know what they are doing" his words from the cross is the ultimate message of Good Friday.
The inhuman suffering at the hands of Romans couldn't break his spirit and his good intentions. His words from the cross stands testimony to this, "Love your enemies. Do good to those who hurt you. "
His resurrection on the third day (Resurrection Sunday) symbolizes the victory of good over evil and proves that good will always prevail.
