This man hath done nothing amiss. Luke 23:41
This testimony concerning the crucified Christ came from none other than one of the malefactors who was hanging beside Him. He further demonstrated his faith and said “Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom” (Luke 23:43). In response, our Lord promised, “Today, shalt thou be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43). Jesus Christ arrived there first and then when the new believer arrived must have said to the Father, this is the one who confessed me before men as we were executed in shame. What will He say of us? —Ken Gross
The people of the Lord are on their way to heaven;
They there obtain their great reward, the prize will there be given.
