To me, it all started in the Garden as in Gen.3 The first Sin - Adam and Eve were responsible. And as a decendant of our first parents, I stood responsible - ie till He set me free by His death on the Cross. Therefore when Jesus prayed 'Father forgive them.." I believe, it is our first parents, Adam and Eve in whom consists the entire humanity. V21 says "God made garments of skin (the first sacrifice) for Adam and his wife and clothed them". But the forgiveness came from the Cross, by the blood of the Lamb... and now we are clothed in His Righteousness. Praise God
