“And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:41-43 ESV
The revelation of His righteousness is perceived in the gospel of Christ.
Here are two criminals who were sentenced to crucifixion along with Jesus. One of the two understood the purpose of the suffering of the Lord Jesus on the cross – “but this man has done nothing wrong”- yet, the Just Man was suffering crucifixion. For what ? For the sins of the criminals. This understanding of one of the criminal’s led him to pray to Jesus to remember him when Jesus is resurrected and comes to His Kingdom. The criminal believed that Jesus was dying for him and will return back through resurrection.That’s Gospel! And look at the divine response that came instantly, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise”. Hallelujah!
Praise Jesus !
My beloved, Jesus didn’t die for that criminal alone, but He died for the whole world ! Unfair, unjust wrong was done to Jesus so that right can happen to us. He willingly received our punishment. This is Jesus’ righteous act on the Cross. This is Jesus’ obedience to God to usher in salvation to the whole world. This is God’s righteousness!
When this truth sinks into our hearts, true praise and adoration will well up from within our hearts unto God . Amen 🙏
Praise Jesus!
