JESUS PAID THE PRICE

THEY SINNED! JESUS FORGAVE

The two criminals hanged with Jesus The Christ were deserving of the death sentence passed on them.
 They were robbers who  had caused many to cry and may have unjustly  terminated the lives of others.

But one of them ended up in paradise because of the goodness of Jesus Christ though his lifestyle was deserving of Hell.

The Pharisees and some Jews were guilty of Heaven were to reckon their sins against them. They wrongly accused and killed  a man who did tons of good for their community .

Jesus Christ healed the sick in their community, raised the dead, fed the hungry, provided wine for their newly wedded when they needed it yet they killed Him.

All He did for the 33 years plus in their midst was bring laughter and joy to the grieving. He empowered the poor with the Good news of the Kingdom yet they cried "Crucify Him!

John the Baptist was slaughtered and be-headed for speaking the truth about their wrong way of living and they knew they would get away with the murder of another good and righteous man

They did all these evil to the Christ YET when Jesus Christ had an opportunity to offer prayers to God on their behalf, He only pleaded for mercy for them and their descendants.

Their wickedness was deserving of a painful death  YET He cried out to the Father to show mercy.

He needed to cry out ,'Mercy" because their actions deserves death when weighed on the justice Scale of the Earth.

Therefore Jesus had to SPEAK words of Mercy to counter the natural outcome of their actions.

If He had not cried out mercy, they and their children may not have experienced the Love and goodness of God.

"Jesus turned and said to them, 

“Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me; weep for yourselves and for your children. 

For the time will come when you will say, ‘Blessed are the childless women, the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’ Then “‘they will say to the mountains, “Fall on us!” and to the hills, “Cover us!”’ For if people do these things when the tree is green, what will happen when it is dry?”

 Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. When they came to the place called the Skull, they crucified him there, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.

 JESUS SAID, “FATHER , FORGIVE THEM, for they do not know what they are doing.”

Luke 23:24:36

Christ In Your Heart

HOW TO ATTAIN AN INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP  WITH GOD AND MAN Christ is called the Anointed One, which symbolisies that He was a man under the influence and control of the Holy Spirit. Romans 8 reveals that the Holy Spirit can lead a man which is the Holy Spirit guiding and directing the activities, decisions and thoughts of the Man through the written and spoken Word. But when the Holy Spirit is leading a man, the man has the absolute ability to say No to the leading of the Holy Spirit and follow his own inclinations.
