Prayers for all involved

No prayers for the murderer. Thank you.

No prayers for the murderer. Thank you.

On the cross, while Jesus was in agony, He forgave the repentant thief, promising that the thief would be with Himself in Paradise that very day.

With the exception of one very specific sin, Jesus has promised humans can always come to him in repentance. We can always, except for someone commiting that one specific sin, pray for someone.

This guy was worth praying for.

Hmmm... Moses was a murderer, as were Samson and others. David ordered the death of his top general after he impregnated the general’s wife. All through the Bible you find people that committed heinous crimes and sins, and yet God was able to use them to fulfill His will.

I have no problem with this person facing the death penalty for his crimes, but I also pray that his repentance was real. God doesn’t even want murderers to go to Hell. He wants ALL men (and women) to come to repentance - that is why Christ died.
