Jesus hung on a cross for a crime he did not commit, on behalf of a people who didn’t know what they had done. In his final moments, Jesus has a conversation with one of the criminals who hung beside him. This guy was so aware of who Jesus was and just how unfair it was for Him to be killed beside criminals. His request of Jesus changed his destiny forever. He asked to be remembered when Jesus entered His kingdom, and Jesus told him that they would be together in paradise (heaven). What an assurance. It’s the destination for every believer in Jesus who stays strong and endures till the very end.
One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved.
For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
