From Luke 23:43

Normally this time of the year my focus is on Easter, the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, the price He paid for me, now again this year I focus there but for what ever reason I can't not shake the thoughts of the parts of the crucification of the 2 criminals who were crucified with Jesus. We know the story of how it goes, one spoke very harsh of Jesus the other spoke the opposite----now the part of this which has been on my mind now for well over a week concerns the criminal who on the cross said to Jesus---- "Lord, remember me when You come into your kingdom." Then Jesus answered him with---"Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise." This criminal in his way came to Jesus asking for forgiveness, as my study Bible points out,, this man had no time to join a church, to be baptized or do good works, ----he just reached out to Jesus as a drowning person reaches out for a life line and Jesus saved this criminal. I would never suggest a person wait until the 11th hour of their life to take hold of Jesus, but no matter your past, no matter the time---Jesus is always right there, waiting for you.....A little something there to think on today---God Bless
