Crucifixion

Ex. 6-8; Luke 23

Scripture: Then he turned to Jesus and said, “Lord, I believe in you! Please, remember me when you set up your kingdom.” Jesus turned His head toward him and said, “I promise you today, when I return with the glory of my Father, I will take you home with me to paradise.” Luke 22: 42, 43

Observation: What a glorious promise the Lord has given to this man to be in heaven with Jesus when the Lord soon returns to get all His people.

Application: That promise holds true today for all people. We need to cling to the cross daily and ask for forgiveness even for those things which we do not know we do. Believe in the Lord and have faith. That kind of power will draw you nearer to Him.

Prayer: Dear Lord please help me to hang my sins on the cross daily and to draw close to you so that I may not sin against you, but have faith in you to cleanse me from all my sins. Amen
