What can we learn from the thief crucified on the cross alongside Jesus? Why was this event recorded at all, and can we learn anything important from this event? First, let us consider who this person was. Nowhere has his history been recorded for us, but we can presume he was not an amiable person. He was obviously a thief, and who knows what other crimes he may have committed to earn the death sentence? In Luke 23:39 to 42, we see the confession of this criminal. He admits he is guilty and deserving of the penalty he is now about to pay. It is very important to note here that he also says…mehr

What can we learn from the thief crucified on the cross alongside Jesus? Why was this event recorded at all, and can we learn anything important from this event? First, let us consider who this person was. Nowhere has his history been recorded for us, but we can presume he was not an amiable person. He was obviously a thief, and who knows what other crimes he may have committed to earn the death sentence? In Luke 23:39 to 42, we see the confession of this criminal. He admits he is guilty and deserving of the penalty he is now about to pay. It is very important to note here that he also says Jesus has done nothing wrong. Then he calls Jesus Lord and then asks Jesus to remember him when He comes into His Kingdom. In doing this, he is acknowledging Jesus as his Messiah. Showing Jesus he has faith in who he is. This event is recorded for us in Luke 23 verses 39 to 42. Luk 23:39 One of the criminals who was hanged insulted him, saying, "If you are the Christ, save yourself and us!" Luk 23:40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Don't you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation? Luk 23:41 And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward for our deeds, but this man has done nothing wrong." Luk 23:42 He said to Jesus, "Lord, remember me when you come into your Kingdom." When we consider this event, we realise the following points about this criminal. He would not have been baptised. Nor had he ever followed Jesus nor prayed to Him. By his own confession, he was a thief and deserving of his penalty. He was only a matter of a few hours from his death when he asks Jesus to remember him.

Autorenporträt
Leslie Rendell has always believed in the existence of Almighty God. But it is only since 1990 that he has become more dedicated to researching the Holy Bible to find answers to his own questions.
We all have our own personal question to ask as we wonder why things are a certain way in our lives and in the lives of other people as well. Leslie has always relied only on the Bible for his answers to religious questions because this is the only place one can expect to find the truth. The thoughts and teachings of any man, church, or religion mean nothing to him.
If there is a conflict between what man claims to be right and what God has had recorded in his holy scriptures, then the word of God will always be regarded as correct. The traditions of man, no matter who he is, will never be seen as more important or more authoritative than the words in the Bible.
This is the way Leslie has always written, and will continue to write, as he seeks to find answers to his own questions that will hopefully also help to answer questions other Christians, and Non-Christians, may have.
