Our nation today is so full of so many enemies of the Lord. They will themselves unite in secret and then openly do all they can to shame Jesus Christ and His Name publicly and strive as one against His righteous cause. They mock His mercy, scoff at His Cross and like their father the devil they stand day and night making their accusations of the church by fault finding as they point their fingers at our sins and weaknesses as if by so doing they excuse themselves from their own guilt and are justified in their antiChrist cause.
These who swarm together against Christ, they have forgotten the light, the message that shines forth from the two thieves who were crucified with Jesus on that unforgettable MAJOR CROSS DAY. Both of those men were as guilty as the other. Both were thieves. Both were dying in their trespasses and sins. Both were headed face forward into hell for sin shows no respect of persons, sin condemns and slays all. And by themselves they were hopeless to escape the eternal punishment that sin brings legally upon all. But some GOOD NEWS for the hopeless was so close to the both of them. Someone extremely SPECIAL was hanging between them both. Someone so glorious in Spirit was nailed to a Special Cross picked out by God Himself to fight for them and their souls and to stand between their guilt and hells merciless fury and fire, his Name was Jesus Christ the Savior of the World.
Both of those men equally deserved hell. Both of those men were guilty of the same. Both of those men were as evil as the other. Neither one had any real right to throw a stone at the other, nor point a finger for disgrace for they were as we all are, they were liars, thieves, self serving sinners in need of great grace and mercy multiplied.
But they both ALSO had this truth going for them THE SAME, and that truth was and is that God and His Son on that Cross loved them both equally despite all their sins, guilt and shame. Its just that one overcame the darkness of the world and he recognized that love and the glory of the One hanging there between them and hell and he ASKED JESUS TO SAVE HIM, but the other one, well sin and Satan deceived him and kept his understanding in the dark concerning who Jesus really is and just How Great God Loves Us All THE SAME (John 17:23) and he died in the guilt of his sin while the other thief experienced THE GREAT PARDONING. All the power of God to redeem and to save them both was being poured out right next to the both of them in a river of crimson blood but only one by faith drank of the river of life. The other one, well he remained on the side of those who curse, mock and scoff at the sufferings and at the blood of Christ the Lamb of God on that cross who died for us all to take away the sin of the world and to save us from our common guilt. God said, all who break just one commandment is guilty of all as if he never kept any. This my friend is our COMMON GUILT (James 2:10).
But to all those scoffers we say be wise and repent for the SAME MIGHTY ONE is hanging between us and them, between God and Satan, between heaven and hell. We can all read the Book of all books THE SAME and clearly see that God shall put them all (ALL HIS SONS ENEMIES Psalms 2) in head spinning derision and send upon them STRONG DELUSION (2 Thessalonians 2:1-13) until they reach the point of no return for they chose to war against the covenant of the blood of Gods Son......And the Lord shall have the last and final word on this matter....And Isaiah the prophet said, Lord who has believed our report concerning You, and to whom has the strong Arm of the Lord been revealed....Jesus is Lord.....deno......share freely.
