I am curious as to what you think about these two thieves? I am curious if you see mankind represented in them and why.

39 One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us!”
40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?
41 And we indeed are suffering justly, for we are receiving what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.”
42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!”
43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”
via Luke 23 NASB – Jesus before Pilate – Then the whole – Bible Gateway.

One thief went to paradise. One went to Hades. Why? Both thieves got the same sentence; both were hanging on a cross, one on one side of JESUS and one on the other side of JESUS. Both heard JESUS speak the same words; both were in pain; both thirsty and dying – what do you think made the difference in their approach (response) to JESUS?

Like I said, just curious. And preparing for Sunday School — :)

Will be thinking about you this weekend. Find your way to a place of corporate worshiping with other Bible believing-practicing Christians.

We have the God-given Right to do right in this wrong World,

Do Not Be Afraid

Leave a comment

I’m sharing with you this morning a portion of last night’s reading. It is still comforting, still alive to me this morning:

Revelation 1:
17 When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, “Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,
18 and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades.
via Rev 1 NASB – The Revelation of Jesus Christ – The – Bible Gateway.

His right hand – the Hand of Authority, the Hand of Ruler-ship, the Hand of ALL Power and He said do not be afraid. I am only not afraid when I am surrendered, when I humble myself under His Almighty Hand. And there I am safe and comforted. Aren’t you?

There we KNOW HE IS THE LIVING ONE. He is the ONE who was DEAD but now is ALIVE forevermore. The ONE with power over death and hell.

JESUS IS!

Do YOU know Him? More importantly does HE know you?

Matthew 7:
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
via Matthew 7:22-24 KJV – Many will say to me in that day Lord – Bible Gateway.

There are prayers to pray! Praying (PFT) is breathing for Christians!

OUR GOD REIGNS,
