Forgiveness . . . What would it take?


I was so touched by this film. I am a born again Christian and one of
the foundations of Christanity is forgiveness. This film really hits
home on forgiveness. My friend was murdered by her boy friend in 2004
and in 2005 they gave him life in prison. I would not like to put
myself in the shoes of the family, but could I forgive him as a
Christian? and if he some how received a gift such as the character in
the film and he save a life or stop a murder from happening could I
forgive him? and if he save my life could I forgive him? I will never
know unless it happened to me but I pray it does not.

I think this is one of the best films I have seen and I recommend not
only do you watch this film but put your feet in the shoes of the
family.

When Jesus was on the cross the same people who put Him to death mocked
Him even while He was dying on the cross and with what breath He had
left. . . He still said "Father forgive them for they do not know what
they do"
