[One of the men hanging beside Jesus] said,
[Jesus] replied, "Truly I tell you,
today you will be with me in Paradise."
Luke 23:42-43
Two men were hanging beside Jesus. Both were criminals.
One, along with the crowds, callously mocked the innocent man – the innocent Messiah – hanging in the center.
The other confessed his guilt, and turned his life over to the Christ. “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Isn’t it ironic … Dying more or less simultaneously with the Messiah, the first Christian to go to heaven was a hardened but repentant criminal!
“Remembering Jesus” means he will “remember” us. Therefore, the question is: How … and how well … do you remember Jesus?
In Christ’s Love,

a long memory)
