November 20, 2022 – Luke 23:33-43 | Unearned Success

The grizzly story of Jesus' death speaks volumes about the the mindset of those that were there as it happened. Jesus' final act of his life was giving life in “paradise” to a criminal next to him on a cross. There is no fairness in this story. There is great love, grace, and vision.

  1. I have a whole new outlook on the criminal’s words “Remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He was asking for unnatural consequences for his actions. He understood grace grounded in knowing Jesus. And I believe the Holy Spirit gave him that insight (but then I’m a Calvinist).
    Well, they both received death and life, but of course the difference was in the “deserving.”
    There were so many other words you spoke that I have down on paper.
    Thank you, Craig, for your exciting insight.
