  1. Perspectives of the Cross Hope for the Hopeless Luke 23:32-43 March 27, 2005 Grace Community Church

  2. Luke 23:32-43 32Two other men, both criminals, were also led out with him to be executed. 33When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left. 34Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

  3. 35The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.” 36The soldiers also came up and mocked him. They offered him wine vinegar 37and said, “If you are the king of the Jews, save yourself.”

  4. 38There was a written notice above him, which read: THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 39One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!”

  5. 40But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” 42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”

  6. The Moralists Luke 23:35 The people stood watching, and the rulers even sneered at him. They said, “He saved others; let him save himself if he is the Christ of God, the Chosen One.” Modern equivalent… • Religious or Unreligious – righteousness is sum total of good deeds… • They believe they are basically “good”. • Jesus not necessarily irrelevant…

  7. The Unrepentant Thief Luke 23:39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Christ? Save yourself and us!” • Sin - means to an end, self fulfillment… • Jesus - Supernatural Bail Bondsman… • Modern equivalent - Get me out of trouble and I will believe…

  8. The Repentant Thief Luke 23:40-42 40But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

  9. The Repentant Thief Luke 23:42-43 42Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” 43Jesus answered him, “I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise.”

  10. Responding to God’s Passion John 3:16 16“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Revelation 3:20 20Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with me.
