Rejecting the cultural Christianity I grew up with to embrace and enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ. A place to come and share thoughts about almost anything. Especially things of the Lord. Please no Anonymous posts, I enjoy knowing who is writing to me.

The Thief on the Cross had a Work
The Thief on the Cross Had a Work
Those who think the thief on the cross had no works, might have to rethink it, I did. I have always thought of the thief on the cross as having no works until I the light bulb went on this morning as I pondered it all. The thief on the cross had one very important work as he hung there, he witnessed to the other thief.
Luke 23:39-43
"39 Then one of the criminals who were hanged blasphemed Him, saying, “If You are the Christ, save Yourself and us.”
40 But the other, answering, rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.” 42 Then he said to Jesus, “LORD, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
