Voice Of Grace

Voice Of Grace

I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.

Luke 23:43

Tell me, what has [the thief on the cross] done to warrant help? He has wasted his life. Who is he to beg for forgiveness? He publicly scoffed at Jesus. What right does he have to pray . . . , “Jesus remember me when you come into your kingdom”?

Do you really want to know? The same right you have to pray. . . .

You see, that is you and me on the cross. Naked, desolate, hopeless, and estranged. That is us. That is us asking. . . .

We don’t boast. We don’t produce our list. Any sacrifice appears silly when placed before God on a cross. . . .

We, like the thief, have one more prayer. And we, like the thief, pray.

And we, like the thief, hear the voice of grace.
