2. Prayer Dear Lord May we at this Easter time learn to forgive others as we have been forgiven. So that by doing this we may know of and remember God’s love for us and the world around us. Amen

3. Challenge This week in daily reflections we are looking at the Easter story in the hours that led up to the trial, conviction and ultimately death of Jesus Christ. Christians believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the price for the wrongs that humanity have done against God so that they could be forgiven and blameless in His sight. This enabling humanity to be in a relationship with God unconditionally. This week see if you can unconditionally forgive someone who has wronged you. Manchester Passion Have a watch of this clip. In this clip we see Pontus Pilate (Keith Allen) put Jesus on trial for blasphemy. The religious authorities are pressuring Pilate to have Jesus crucified when Jesus is innocent.
