Resurrection Egg Day 8

Day 8- Gambling with Dice

The Roman soldiers used dice to gamble for Jesus's robe.

Read: John 19:23-25

Jesus hardly owned anything in this world. So, when the soldiers gambled for Jesus's clothes at the cross, it was sad that they were so selfish and cared so little for Him.

Jesus shows us what to do when others wrong us. He actually asked forgiveness from His father for the soldiers who were about to crucify Him. Luke 23:24 tells us what He prayed: "Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." We know from God's Word, the Bible, that we need to pray for our enemies. We are also told that we need to forgive them, just as Jesus showed us.

See you tomorrow for day 9!
