No one ever pressed against so great a foe as Jesus in the desert, in the garden, the courts of the Pharisees, the hall of Pilate, the Roman torturers, the crowd filled with blood lust hatred, the cross, tomb, every evil force of hell and darkness. Christ had the right and the authority to stop everything, crush the universe back into the tiny spec from which it came and remake it any way he saw fit. No one could have complained. He would have had to do this because without forgiveness for sin mankind would have no life worth living and existence on this planet would be unbearable. When we withhold forgiveness we make this life unbearable and worthless for ourselves and others.
