MERCY ON THE POINT OF DEATH
Luke 23:39-43 KJV
And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us. [40] But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? [41] And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. [42] And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. [43] And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
Just like it happened on the day Jesus died for us which we are marking tiday, it is still happening as the blood shed on the still efficient to clean and wash away our sins.
Lessons from the passage:
- The malefactors hanged had nothing to offer the Lord. No service.
- No baptism before he was saved
- He maximise the opportunity of meeting with saviour at the point of death.
The Lord is still doing this today, saving the wretched sinners.
Have a wonderful Easter celebration.
