Today my focus began with Jesus on the cross. God quickly turned my eyes to the two criminals hanging beside Him, one on His left, and one on His right! One full of pride and the other pierced with humility!

One, so full of pride and selfishness, that he was blinded from seeing that hanging right beside him was the son of God.

The other, full of humility that allowed him to see past his horrific circumstances to view the Savior of the world, God‘s one and only son, hanging right beside him!

One, so full of pride and selfish ambition that he can’t see past himself as he cries out,

“One of the criminals began to shout insults at Jesus: ‘Aren’t you the Christ?’ Then save yourself! And save us too!’” Luke 23:39

“But the other criminal stopped him. He said, ‘You should fear God! You are getting the same punishment as he is. We are punished justly; we should die. But this man has done nothing wrong!’” Then this criminal said to Jesus, ‘Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom!’”

Luke 23:40-42

Jesus speaks to him,

“Then Jesus said to him, ‘Listen! What I say is true; today you will be with me in paradise!’” Luke 23:43

Two men in the same proximity to Jesus.

One on his left side and one on his right.

One looked only with his physical eyes and saw through his pride, a mere man who could help him out of his horrible circumstance.

The other looked past his physical eyesight and with spiritual vision saw the Son of the Living God!

With humility and conviction of sin he defended and proclaimed his belief.
