Friday
Read Luke 23:33-43
33When they came to the place called “The Skull”, they
crucified Jesus there, and the two criminals, one on his right and the other on
his left. 34Jesus said, “Forgive them, Father! They don’t know what
they are doing.”d
They divided his clothes among themselves
by throwing dice. 35The people stood there watching while the Jewish
leaders jeered at him: “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the
Messiah whom God has chosen!”
36 The soldiers also mocked him:
they came up to him and offered him cheap wine, 37and said, “Save
yourself if you are the king of the Jews!”
38 Above him were written these
words: “This is the King of the Jews.”
39 One of the criminals hanging
there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
40 The other one, however, rebuked
him, saying, “Don’t you fear God? You received the same sentence he did. 41Ours,
however, is only right, because we are getting what we deserve for what we did;
but he has done no wrong.” 42And he said to Jesus, “Remember me,
Jesus, when you come as King!”
43 Jesus said to him, “I promise you
that today you will be in Paradise with me.”
Think
This is the last Sunday of the Christian year. Advent begins on Sunday 27 November. What are you thankful for? How have you grown this year? Where is God leading you next year?
