Remember, no sin is too big for God to forgive.  While Jesus hung on the cross He begged, "Father forgive them for they know not what they are doing."  Look at that statement!  Jesus is pleading God's mercy for those who crucified Him. (and He's pleading mercy for each of us.)
Yes, Christ asked the Father to forgive the people who crucified Him.
Now isn't killing our Lord Jesus the biggest sin anyone could commit?
It's for sure God will forgive each of our sins if we repent and ask forgiveness.
Wow! Our Heavenly Father is Awesome! What a mighty God we serve!
Think of all the planning and loving care God put into each one of His children! We are so blessed to be allowed to be in the family of God!
Our Heavenly Father deserves all honor, glory and praise!
