Luke 23.39-43 If the Cross of Christ means we can be forgiven, then it also means there is hope we can come to God. The Faith Of A Thief. The thief met Jesus. The thief met himself. To those who claim we earn our salvation the thief could not. To those who claim God will give all of us salvation Jesus did not. The thief had the worst faith ever. But it was enough faith for Jesus. The Hope Of A Thief. At some point you must encounter Jesus on the cross. At some point you must recognize your sin. At some point you must follow Jesus in faith. At that point Jesus will save you. *The thief reminds us that there is always hope we can fellow Jesus.*
