Sue brings us a moving message in three parts, spoken from the perspective of those who died on the three Roman crosses on that first “Good Friday”.
Like the mocking thief, we also often think God has let us down as he allowed some sickness or evil. Like the repentant thief we have the opportunity to enter paradise even though we don’t deserve it. Like millions of others who have trusted that Jesus, on the cross, took the punishment for our sin, we can find our true worth in God, experiencing the divine exchange that happened on the cross.
Through repentance we can receive his grace instead of vengeance or justice, divine favour instead of rejection, and real life and love instead of hatred and death.
