The Crucifixion of Jesus Christ
Jesse M. Hendley
Luke 23:32-48
Let us turn to a passage of Scripture that has helped untold thousands of people to see the basis of their salvation. Luke 23:32-48. ''And there were also two others, malefactors, led with Him to be put to death.

And the soldiers also mocked Him, coming to Him offering Him vinegar and saying, ''If Thou art the King of the Jews, save Thyself. And there was also a superscription over Him, This is the King of the Jews. And one of the malefactors that were hanged railed on Him, saying, Art not Thou the Christ? Save Thyself and us. But the other answered, rebuking him, saying; Dost thou not fear God, seeing that thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds. But this man hath done nothing amiss. And he said, Jesus remember me when Thou comest into Thy kingdom. And Jesus said unto him, today shalt thou be with Me in paradise.

This is the tremendous drama of the Cross. I want to call your attention to those three crosses. On the ...
