* vs 39 - Jesus was a divider.

* Even in His death He divided people.

* Before His cross was placed between the thieves we never knew the difference between the two.

* But the minute Jesus showed up it was obvious.

* vs 43 - the repentant man and Jesus had a conversation.

* Jesus then tells him they will meet again.

* Jesus died first.

* Then this man died.

* Can you imagine what their meeting was like?

* I imagine Jesus standing there with His arms open, “Told ya! Isn’t this place ossum?”

* That’s an eternal perspective we need to keep.
