We just learned about Jesus being crucified next to criminals.
When Jesus was being put up on the cross, he said Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.
God sent Jesus into the world to die on the cross for everyone's sins.
It was all part of God's plan, and the people who were crucifying Jesus were just soldiers and workers and didn't know he was the son of God.
With all of the power that Jesus had he could have walked down off the cross but didn't, instead he asked God the Father to not destroy the world for what they were doing because it was all part of his plan.
In that way it showed us how much he loved the world because he went through the suffering to save us.
