The Criminals

Luke 23:32-43
Criminals on the Cross – Different Destinations
At the climax of a lifetime’s interaction with sinners, we see Jesus between two criminals. One joins the mockers and dies with his sins. The other admits his guilt, acknowledges Jesus’ majesty and seeks His mercy.
We are all guilty, and King Jesus shows mercy to all. Only one thing remains. Like the repentant criminal, we must put our last and only hope in the King. No mere human effort compares. Nothing we sinners might do can erase our past, meet God’s holy demands, and usher us into heaven.
But if we turn to Jesus, He will never send us away. We can be sure of paradise simply because only He can offer such a gift, and only He can keep such a promise.
