The biggest obstacle to making Christ magnificent is the refusal to make yourself small.
James MacDonaldThese criminals represent us. One of them recognized Jesus for who he was and received him; Jesus promised that when he died he would be in heaven with him. The other man rejected Jesus and closed his heart. Unlike the first criminal, when he died he didn't go to heaven. He went to hell. In that sense, these two men on either side of Jesus are just like every person. We either embrace Christ as our Savior and spend eternity with him, or we reject him and say, 'I don't believe it. I'll have nothing to do with.' And these people spend eternity separated from him.
James MacDonaldWhen we get bumped - we spill what we are full of - Be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus.
