—Luke 23:32-46

As Christ was dying on the cross, others continued to mock him. One man, however, saw Jesus for who he truly was. He recognized that Jesus was not a mere man, he saw Christ’s innocence. He pleaded with Christ to remember him in heaven. In that moment, Jesus gave “new life” to a dying criminal. Jesus assured the criminal that he would be with Jesus in paradise. We have that same promise. Some day, we will join Christ in heaven, worshipping our heavenly father. This Sabbath, focus on worshipping Christ here and now. Thank him for his gift of live and rejoice in it!
