remember me

Three adjacent scarred up execution crosses on the dark side of the Holy City
A dying felon meets the Holy One.
Both hanging between Earth and Heaven.
This criminal looks in Jesus' face,
searching His bloodshot eyes with desperation.
He has just enough presence of mind left
to realize that only this Man
hanging next to him
can make his guilt-smeared life
make any sense at all.
All he has left is one last long-shot of hope
--one simple ask for mercy.
He gasps for air
as he struggles to get out the words...
“Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
Luke 23:42
Take a moment to listen to Remember Me
Jesus answers him
“I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”
Luke 23:43
No matter what we've done.
No matter how dark or seemingly unforgivable.
With a humble prayer,
casting ourselves and our future on the mercy of Jesus,
like the remorseful thief,
we will be with Him forever.
We are never without hope.
Never too far gone.
Ever.
We are always met
with wide open arms.
Embraced
Loved
Forgiven
Forever

Beautiful 💜 I could 'feel' the song, the love of Christ for the thief, for all of us, coming through. And the words of your post, the reminder of His Truth that we can immerse fully in beginning this day, this moment, on Good Friday. Happy Easter Greg and Corinne. I am so happy you are out there, sharing your 'gifts' with us.
Praise Him for this unfathomable gift of mercy and grace.... What kind of love is this?
Thank you Greg and Corinne for reaching out to a hurting lost world with this incredible encouragement. You are truly such a gift. May God bless you as you bring His Light into the vast darkness... You are so loved.

Beautiful reminder that God didn't come to condemn us but to love us!🥲
Thank you for this moving Good Friday meditation. Your song, Remember Me, is hauntingly beautiful and perfectly captures the significance of this day.
