Heluhelu Baibala\/Scripture Reading<\/strong>
A laila \u02bb\u014dlelo akula \u02bbo Ies\u016b, E ka Makua, e kala iho \u02bboe i ko l\u0101kou nei hewa; no ka mea, <\/em>
\u02bba\u02bboleo l\u0101kou \u02bbike i k\u0101 l\u0101kou mea e hana nei. Pu\u02bbunaue a\u02bbela l\u0101kou i kona mau kapa, <\/em>
hailona ihola.<\/em>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Luka 23:34
\u00a0
Jesus said, \u201cFather, forgive them. They don\u2019t know what they are doing.\u201d The soldiers <\/em>
divided up his clothes by casting lots.<\/em>\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Luke 23:34<\/em>

Ka mana\u2018o o ka limahana<\/strong>
KS Hawai\u2018i Christian Education Kumu Shonnie Calina<\/strong>
In this one scripture, Jesus shows what the highest level of love looks like. He\u2019d been
given the highest form of punishment and was innocent. Death on a cross. He was
mocked and humiliated. In all that physical and emotional pain, Jesus did something
almost counterintuitive. He prayed for his accusers and asked His Father to forgive
them!
\u00a0
Forgive?! Then He adds, \u201cThey don\u2019t know what they are doing.\u201d Did they not really
know? They did know. But, they didn\u2019t realize how impactful their decisions were in
regards to their own ola (life), the real hopena (result) of their koho (choice).
\u00a0
Jesus\u2019 powerful and transformational example directs us to forgive. Forgive those
who cause us pain. In knowing Jesus, we are able to have compassion and empathy
for others. This allows us to release our anger and hurt. We become free. We are able
to holomua (progress) to another level of understanding. Aloha becomes our
strongest motivator.
\u00a0
So choose to live noa (free). Ask the Father to help get you there. It\u2019s not easy. But,
it\u2019s possible. It\u2019s possible because of the incomparable love that Jesus displayed on
that cross, just for me, just for you.
\u00a0
Ka mana\u02bbo o ka haumana<\/strong>
Keiki Kahu Mamo Esera<\/strong>
Growing up in my earlier years was tough. Our mom was in an abusive relationship
and although she worked hard to provide for us, she couldn\u2019t protect us from the
mistreatment. Our father was a drug addict and an absent parent. His negative habits
began to dismantle our family, our trust and our lives.

He was incarcerated for a time and we moved on without him. So, why would I
choose to forgive a person who was supposed to love and protect us, but did the
opposite? When Jesus said, \u201cForgive them for they know not what they do,\u201d I was
reminded of the power of forgiveness for those people who don\u2019t know why they do
the wrong things they do. Forgiving gave me freedom to move forward and to live
aloha!<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
