Jesus said unto him, “Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise (Luke 23:43).
Greetings brothers and sisters grace and peace to you in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. I Thank God for you because you have obeyed the doctrine put forth by the Gospel of Jesus Christ. While Jesus was downing on the cross He made reference to the impending future concerning the fate of one who has been forgiven. Lord lead me and guide me as I share with my friends concerning the future with Christ. In Jesus name, I pray Amen.
As the Lord was on the cross the soldiers along with the people that were there riled Him and mocked Him saying, He saved others, now let Him Save Himself. A sign was hanged over His head, written in Greek, Latin, and Hebrew. The superscription read This Is The King Of The Jews. One of the malefactors which were hanged railed on Him saying If thou be the Christ, save thyself and us, But the other answering rebuked him, saying Dost thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss. and He said to Jesus, Lord remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom (Luke 23:39-42).
Jesus tearing down the barrier that blinded the heart of this thief causing him to see more clearly as to who it is he is being put to death next to . while this malefactor was on the cross suddenly understood that this situation that he is in is very dyer. He saw that the hope of his salvation was crucified next to Him. He understood that Jesus was innocent and didn’t deserve what He was receiving and that they did. He also at that point in time he expressed verbally what He had suddenly come to understand. He called Him Lord, He acknowledged Christ would being going to His Kingdom. The malefactor confessed with His mouth, Jesus Christ is Lord, And He believed in His heart that God will raise Him from the dead.
Jesus Said to him “Today,” So there will be no soul sleep. This is going to happen today. There is life after death, Thou shall be with me today in paradise. Paradise is only given to the repentant one. Repentance is a personal and individual decision. Not all will repent so not all will be in paradise. All of us who have repented will go to be with the Lord at the appointed time of our death. If we have believed, we will not come into judgment, but we will pass from death to life, according to John 5:24). Today not tomorrow, Today not the last day, today not resurrection day. Halleluja, Today as soon as I close my eyes, hallelujah, thank you, Jesus, Thank You, Lord.
My friends do you believe in Jesus this is the most important decision you will ever make in your entire life. God bless you. If you believe let me know, Blog me.
