“ Great Sermon! ” A really great message by brother Marvin, who is so careful when handling the word of God, and preaching the Gospel for our good and the glory of God. The saved thief had both his hands & feet nailed to the wooden cross, which pictures inability. He could not raise his hand nor walk an aisle. He was a political prison and criminal guilty of many acts against the state, as well as being a natural son of Adam; hostile to God. Our Lord did everything needful for the one thief , while having no regard for the other; the one thing needful was Christ was revealed to the thief in (v40) that He was God whereby he had a godly fear (Matt 16:17). The other thief (v39) asked ""if" thou be the Christ; there was no certainty because God had not revealed His Son to the other their; his name was not written in the Lambs Book of Life. That is the difference and the difference is made by God, who quickened the sinner as he hung on the cross. Our Lord made that promise to a man who was not moral, law-abiding; perhaps a thief and a murderer; he had no time to reform his life or make restitution. Repentance was worked, by God, in the man by a new heart. This repentance is a mysterious work wrought within the new man. The old man cannot repent!
