Final Thoughts • Luke 23:43

The story of the thief on the cross and the transition he went through in that short period of time is fascinating. He went from ridiculing to worshipping. He was understandably skeptical. Why would a king, much less the Son of God, allow Himself to be subjected to such brutality? But, something changed the thief’s mind. Was it Christ’s gracious words of forgiveness or His demeanor? Somehow he made several conclusions: this Man is who He says He is, and He may forgive me. In those last moments, the thief received a promise of forgiveness that carried him over into eternity.
