A Man Who Got More Than He Asked For!
Steve N. Wagers
Luke 23:32-43
1. His Abandonment of Goodness!
A) An Unrespectable Man
B) An Unlawful Man
C) An Unbridled Man
D) An Unknown Man
2. His Acknowledgement of Guilt!
A) His Repentance to Christ
B) His Respect for Christ
C) His Request of Christ
3. His Attainment of Grace!
A) A Reality He Never Envisioned
B) A Response He Never Experienced
C) A Reward He Never Expected
These verses record the 1st of the 7 last sayings of the Lord Jesus. Of the 7 sayings, 3 of them were addressed to the Father, and 4 were addressed to men.
Lehman Strauss said, ''The last words of some of the world's greatest men and women have been recorded, engraved upon marble slabs and monuments, woven into expensive tapestry, and painted in the most imperishable colors of art. But of all the words that have been preserved for us, the Seven Sayings of the Savior stand towering high above them all. As He spoke from Golgotha's brow, He used sublime and holy words as the garment of His thoughts.''
On this hillside are a interesting set of 3's:

One had Sin ON Him not IN Him
3 Thieves
One REJECTED in Sin
One REPENTENT of Sin
One REDEEMING for Sin

(John 18:30) ''They answered and said...If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee.''
Luke also indicates the thought:
(32) ''And there were also two OTHER malefactors, led with him to be put to death.''
Jesus a ''malefactor?'' Jesus a thief? Oh yes, friend, He robbed:
Sin of its PENALTY
Death of its POWER
Grave of its P ...
