Luke 23: 39-43 One of the criminals who was suspended kept up a railing at Him, saying, Are You not the Christ (Messiah)? Rescue yourself and us [from death]!
But the other one reproved him, saying, do you not even fear God, seeing yourself are under the same sentence of condemnation and suffering the same penalty?
And we indeed suffer it justly, receiving the due reward of our actions; but this Man has done nothing out of the way.
Then he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come in your kingly glory!
And He answered Him, Truly I tell you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.
I know I have struggle with feelings like I need to earn God’s love and favor. Has that ever been you?
We all need to take a lesson from the thief on the cross. There is nothing you or I can do to make God love us any more and nothing we have done to make Him love us any less.
He sent His Son to die on the cross for you and me. Know matter how good we try to be and how bad we are at times; unless we receive His sacrifice for our sins, we will not see glory.
But just as the thief did, He called on His name and ask Jesus to remember Him, and the Lord said, this day you will be with me Paradise. The thief called upon His name and was saved.
Trying to be good will only make you know that you cannot be on your own. Without out the Lord’s Grace in our lives it would be impossible to live perfect. Thank you, Lord for you grace, mercy and compassion.
Stop trying to earn something that is a free gift. Just receive the sacrifice and be free from all guilt and shame in Jesus name.
