Today while studying in the New Testament, I ran across these verses in Luke 23: 39-43 which says:
39. And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
40. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41. And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comedy into the kingdom.
43. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
40. But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
41. And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.
42. And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comedy into the kingdom.
43. And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
As Christ suffered on the cross to fulfill what He promised our Heavenly Father he would do long ago, he was mocked on every hand. Yet as he suffered, he never once thought about himself. He thought of us and every one of us. There has never been a man since Christ lived on the earth that loved every single one of us as much as He did and does. Use His gift that He has given us. The atonement is for all. Whether we are repenting or need healing, Christ knows how to succor us. Turn to him! He loves you and He knows you better than anyone else. He will succor you.
