Daily pearls from the shore🫧
In the Middle
In the book of Luke 23:32-33, 39-43, during the last hours of crucifixion,
two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him (Jesus). And when they came to the place that is called ‘The Skull’, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left.
Luke 23: 39 –“One of the criminals who were hanged there was hurling abuse at Him (Jesus).
But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.”
And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.”
And He (Jesus) said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
Many of us find ourselves at such a turning point in our lives. We lose hope. We find ourselves in the darkness of choices and struggle with anxiety and depression. We take shelter in addictions and other destructive options.
The weight of sin and the pain of shame and guilt make us bitter, and we tend to miss Jesus, who is exactly present in the middle of our pain and shame.
He stands there for us, bearing the weight of our sins and taking up the cross for us.
There comes the irony.
If we choose to acknowledge the position that He has taken up for us, He promises forgiveness and eternity.
Just like He did for the second thief.
The second thief received the revelation that the innocent Jesus took the fall for his sins. He acknowledged himself as a sinner and pleaded with Jesus. He then and there received eternity.
Or
Sometimes our bitterness takes the shape of pride in us. We tend to be too prideful to acknowledge ourselves as sinners and miss out on the mercy that is available. Few of us are too veiled by our self-righteousness to have any need for mercy.
Well, Jesus has done HIS part. You can be on the right side or the left. He is in the middle. He has made the way out of sin and into heaven. Are you willing to crossover? The choice is yours.
