It is FinishedНамуна

This is both a word of salvation and a word of promise.  They are not words to a good man, to a holy or pious man; they are words to a common thief.  He was fully deserving of His punishment.  He was guilty of a crime.  No one shed tears for this thief that he was upon a cross.

Jesus was the one innocent among the guilty.  He was the sheep among the wolves.  If you believe salvation is for those who have earned it and performed for it, then look to this thief's cross.  Examine this scene.

With God, there is no one beyond hope.  There is no such thing as a lost cause.  His power to save extends even to this situation and scene.  

Here Jesus's words assure us that God's grace is big enough to include even us at any time in our lives.  

Today, write a prayer for someone close to you who you think is too far from the grace of God.  You believe this person to be a lost cause.
