The thief who died next to Jesus.
No baptism
No communion
No confirmation
No speaking in tongues
No mission trip
No volunteering
No financial gifts
No church clothes
He couldn’t bend his knees to pray. He didn’t say the sinner’s prayer, he was a criminal and he was worthy of death.
Jesus didn’t take away his pain, heal his body, or smite his scoffers.
He was a thief who walked into paradise the same seconds as Jesus simply by believing.
He had nothing more to offer other than his belief that Jesus was who He said He was.
No spin from theologians.
No ego or arrogance.
No shiny lights, donuts, or coffee in the lobby.
Just a dying man on a cross unable to even fold his hands to pray.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son so that WHOEVER believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.
– John 3:16
