A look at Christ’s Crucifixion
Luke’s gospel records this about the crucifixion of Jesus,
“One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!”
But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence?
We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”
Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.’”
Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:39-43
One did not believe in Christ asking for physical proof that he was the Christ by physically saving them. He gave no hint of confessing his wrong deeds. He just wanted his life in this world to be saved.
The other believed in Christ by faith. He admitted his sin confessed his wrong doing and asked Christ to remember him when He came into his kingdom.
We today have the same two choices. Reject Jesus, or believe in Him by faith. Confess our sins to Him and accept the Salvation He offers.
Are you willing to believe Jesus is the Son of God. The Saviour of all who believe in Him?
Please think about it.
