Paradise

This week, commonly known as Passion Week, we are looking at the seven last sayings of Christ which He spoke while He was on the cross.

Today we look at Luke 23:43 where Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

These words were spoken to a thief who was being crucified on a cross next to Jesus. The Bible tells us that two thieves were crucified that day, one on either side of Jesus.

Initially they were both mocking Christ along with the rest of the crowd. But somewhere along the way, one of them had a change of heart. As He observed Christ and how He responded that day, this man came to realize that he was a sinner and that Jesus was indeed the Savior. He expressed faith in Christ and Jesus assured this man of his salvation.
