Yes. That is the next steps. A lot of forgiveness, not forgetfulness, towards others who have wronged me and others. Christ could have destroyed Rome and the Pharisees, but instead He prayed that God would forgive them and the jews. Later, some of the Pharisees (e.g. Paul) became instrumental in the spreading of Christianity using Rome's infrastructure and expansive empire.
