"What Jesus Said on the Cross"


This is a very insightful, well-written treatise that examines the sayings of Our Lord during His crucifixtion.

The last paragraph gave me goosebumps (literally):

"Jesus always had a soft spot in his heart for people who wanted to improve their lives. One of the most considerate statements he made while on the cross served to show that second chances are always possible. While speaking with a thief who had been condemned to die beside him, Jesus admires the man's faith in his ministry, despite the fact that he was a criminal responsible for living a sinful life. He encourages the man, as they are both near death, by saying, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise (Luke 23:43)."
