GOD USED A CRIMINAL TO JUSTIFY HIS SON

 

When Jesus hung on the cross his disciples deserted Him. But God needed someone to justify His Son. He used one of the criminals crucified with Christ who said “…this man has done nothing wrong.” (Luke 23, 41).
In my opinion this criminal was a man of faith. When he saw Jesus hang on a cross like himself – scourged, mangled, bleeding, dying – he cried “Lord, remember me, when You come into Your Kingdom.” (Vs 42) When the Lord was at his lowest point, he believed that this Jesus was the King of a Kingdom and desired to be in it! Jesus replied “…today you will be with me in paradise.” What faith! I am sure that no one ever has trusted Jesus under the exact same circumstances. What faith! Be blessed. REINHARD BONNKE
