Day 23 Reflection

Today in church we talked and looked at Jesus birth, which to be is interesting because tonibht we look at Jesus death. In the text today I want to look at two people that had direct interaction with Jesus at his death and were forever changed. First off is the second thief on the cross, we don't exactly see how long the theifs were with Jesus during the process of his trial but he witness enough to know that this man Jesus was a different man, one that did not desreve the same fate that he did. What is neat to see and witness through the scripture is the thiefs interaction with Jesus asking Jesus to remember him and Jesus replies in v.43 "Truly I tell you today you will be with me in paradise" The awseome power of Jesus saving grace that in this man's last hour he meet Jesus and his life path was changed forever. The second man I want to bring attenition too is the Centerion who while seeing Jesus die and go through this whole ordeal calls out praising God "surely this was a righteous man" Two people watching Jesus die coming to the realization that he was who he claimed to be the savior of the World. What a beautiful picture heading into tomorrow and celerbrating Jesus Birth, getting to see tonight the reason for that birth, to save you, to save me of my sin,by dying on a Cross. Praise be to Jesus
