Luke 23:26-43
The crucifixion.
For if men do these things when the tree is green what will happen when it is dry?
The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, "He saved others ; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One. The Soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar and said, "If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself."
There was a written notice above them, which read: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.
One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him. But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, 'since you are under the same sentence? We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong." Then he said, "Jesus remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."
Only Luke tells us that one of the mocking robbers repented and was forgiven.
Why?
For if men do these things when the tree is green what will happen when it is dry? It will fall very soon.
People don't know what God's will, they don't know where God is, so they used their own mind to watch Jesus on the Cross.
This is the limitation of human being, we saw the feature according to our experience to just everything.
Jesus is the king of the Jews and all human being.
The robber said the right word and he was saved on at the last time in his life. Repent our sins will be saved.
How?
Catch the time repent our sins and accept Jesus before lost our life. Facing the cross how we see it and do we repent our sins.
