"For God so love the world that He gave His one and only Son
That whoever believes in Him will not perish, but have eternal life." John 3:16
Jesus was dying on the Cross
Two criminals were on either side of Him
One mocked Him and turned away
The other knew he deserved to die and turned to Jesus
He acknowledged Him to be the Son of God and said
"Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom"
And the most comforting words in scripture
Were uttered to this wretched, hopeless man
"Today you shall be with Me in Paradise"
A powerful demonstration of God's grace and forgiveness
To those who looked upon this frightful scene saw death
But beyond the ghastly sight was the promise of eternal life
Through the sacrifice of the Lamb of God
Who suffered an excruciating, painful death to pay the debt for our sins
One sinner chose death, the other sinner chose life
Over 2,000 years after the greatest moment in human history
Jesus still reaches with outstretched hands to the world
With His Divine Love, Grace and Forgiveness
