Even in the hour of His death, Jesus experience the joy of granting forgiveness to a lost sinner (Hebrews 12:3).
“Remember Me” – this remark is amazing
for its insight. While others mocked Jesus’ seeming inability to save Himself,
this thief recognized that Jesus would live and rule. He wanted to be saved and
take part in Christ’s kingdom.
Paradise literally means “garden”
or “park.” It is the place of the righteous dead in Sheol. When Jesus spoke to
the thief o the cross, He promised him that he would that day be with Him in
Paradise. Again, indicating a pleasant place for the righteous among the dead. Paradise
was a part of Hades where Abraham and the other saints waited for Jesus Christ
to come and set them free. Jesus promised eternal life to the thief.
Jesus came to
earth on a mission of love. Through His great sacrifice, we are restored to our
original place of fellowship with our Creator - God our Father.
Give thanks to the Lord for He is
good! (1 Chronicles 16:34)
Be Blessed and be a Blessing!
