Unforgivable Saint

Have you ever felt unforgivable?  That is: have you ever done something that is so bad you don’t think Heavenly Father could ever forgive you?  I have.

It was late in Jesus’ ministry.  As it turned out, it was the evening before his crucifixion.  As I reflect back on the events of that day and the days to follow I still see it as though through a whirlwind.  So many things happening around me, so many things I didn’t understand. I was in a fog.  Some moments swirl towards clarity, but most blur together into obscurity.  I was the unknowing participant in a  journey of discovery; experiencing and growing to understand one of Heavenly Father's greatest mysteries.

These events are punctuated in my memory by a series of images; images of Jesus’ eyes.  A poet once said:  “The eyes are the window into the soul”.  Imagine looking into the soul of the Son of God!  I did and what I saw rescued me from the brink of ultimate despair.
