Theme: Jesus forgives and saves sinners, during His own crucifixion.
 In vv. 32-33, we see the place where death and grace meet. In vv. 34-38, Jesus offers forgiveness in the midst of mockery, and in vv. 39-43, the two criminals make their final requests. Reflections on this passage help us to: 1. See the true mission of God: Jesus came to save His people from their sins. 2. Recognize the miracle of faith: The thief's faith can only be attributed to the Spirit of God. 3. Embrace the forgiveness of Christ: The thief asked Jesus to remember him. He was asking for grace and mercy. That is what we need. 4. Rest in the Assurance Christ gives: Note how Jesus personally gives this to the thief. He gives assurance to all who call upon Him. In conclusion, we see that Jesus was crucified, willingly. But on the cross we see love beyond description displayed. We see forgiveness offered and rejected. We see forgiveness also received. In the end, we all need forgiveness that leads to reconciliation. For to repent of our sins and believe on Christ, is indeed to have everlasting life, and that life begins today!
