We are getting what we deserve. This man has done nothing wrong.” L U K E 2 3 : 4 1 ( T L B ) We are guilty and he is innocent. We are filthy and he is pure. We are wrong and he is right He is not on that cross for his sins. He is there for ours.And once the crook understands this, his request seems only natural. As he looks into the eyes of his last hope, he makes the same request any Christian has made: “Remember me when you come into your kingdom” (Luke23:42 TLB).No stained-glass homilies. No excuses. Just a desperate plea for help.At this point Jesus performs the greatest miracle of the cross. Greater than the earthquake. Greater than the tearing of the temple curtain . . .He performs the miracle of forgiveness: “Today you will be with me in Paradise. This is a solemn promise” (Luke23:43 TLB).
