Good Friday: What He's Done
Luke 23:32-43
Tim Badal
On this evening of Good Friday, as we remember the death and burial of our Savior and Lord. It creates an opportunity for us to remember one of the many events that happened that afternoon and evening. There's much that we could talk about.
From the cross, Jesus made seven different statements, all of which are meaningful
and amazing. From all seven of these things He said from the cross, the one that means the most to us is the one I want to explore for the next few minutes. Let's consider what's recorded in Luke 23:32-43:
32 Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him. 33 And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. 34 And Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do." And they cast lots to divide his garments. 35 And the people stood by, watching, but the rulers scoffed at him, saying, "He saved others; let him save himself, if he is the Christ of God, his Chosen One!" 36 The soldiers also mocked him, coming up and offering him sour wine 37 and saying, "If you are the King of the Jews, save yourself!" 38 There was also an inscription over him, "This is the King of the Jews."
Here's where we're going to land tonight:
39 One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!" 40 But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong." 42 And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." 43 And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise."
From that incredible evening, I want to focus on the luckiest man who ever lived. Now, luck can be defined as a force that operates for the good in s ...
