“And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise” (Luke 23:43).
Though Christ’s mission on earth was completed on the cross, His main objective on earth was “to seek and save that which was lost” (Luke 19:10). Even while His life’s blood flowed from Calvary, He saved one who came to Him in faith. The thief beside Him knew he, not Christ, deserved to die. It might not have been the best of circumstances, but Christ was ready to save and extend the promise of paradise to a repentant thief. Christ offers that same promise to all who will come to Him in faith.
