Egg #8 Die

When the soldiers had crucified Jesus, they took His garments and divided them into four parts, one part for each soldier; also His tunic. But the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom, so they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it to see whose it shall be."

-John 19:23-24

 

Have you ever played a game using dice? Games are supposed to be fun, but what the soldiers did was mean and cruel. While Jesus was dying on the cross, they played a game to decide who would take his clothes!

 

Jesus knew what the soldiers were doing, but He did not show anger. He chose to die for their sins too. That is why He prayed for them, even while  they were playing their mean game. He prayed, "Father, forgive them. They don't know what they are doing" (Luke 23:34).
