Many of the Roman soldiers who executed him will be there too. “FATHER forgive them. They know not what they do.” was the first of 7 things he said and was directed in part to the soldiers:

Matthew 27:54
“Now when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly, saying, Truly this was the Son of God.”

2 Peter 3:9
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

Yes, in fact Peter even told the very ones who crucified our Lord that they still could repent.

The grace of God cannot be measured in words. We serve a wounded God and no other religion can have a wounded God. Amen.
