I'm a thief.
I'm a thief.
I stole from you.
I picked your pocket.
I ate my fill from your toils.
I slept in while you worked, only to steal what you worked for while you slept.
I live to exploit you...
I have a criminal record.
I've been arrested, jailed and convicted.
I'm the kind of friend you warn your kids about.
I'm a terrible influence.
I don't remember the last time I did good.
I'm don't even try anymore.
I'm a bad guy.
I'm a thief.
I've been sentenced to death row.
I deserve this.
I'm a criminal at my last hour.
I'll be taking my last breath any time now.
I knew it would come to this.
I just didn't think it would end up this way.
I didn't think I'd be dying next to the Savior of the world.
I wonder if he knows who I am.
I know he was known for being a friend of sinners.
I heard he actually loved sinful people.
I'm sure thats because he never met someone like me.
I know its too late for me, but...
I wonder.
I wonder if he could love someone like me.
I don't think so.
I guess I have nothing to lose.
I'll ask him.
Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.
Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Luke 23:42
I don't know if I heard that right.
I'm in?!?!?!?!
I've NEVER even done one good thing but...
I'm in.... at the last second.
I'm loved.
I'm accepted.
I will be with him for eternity.
I've never been to church.
I don't know who Chris Tomlin is.
I've never had a quiet time or shared my faith.
I don't know what a tithe is.
I'm actually a worse sinner than my buddy hanging on the other side of Jesus, but...
I'm in cause he said so.
i'm no longer a thief.
I'm a son.
I know you know my story.
I just hope you remember it the next time you feel unworthy and undeserving of Gods grace.
I hope you remember this undeserving criminal thief who at the last hour, found grace that he could never earn.
I hope you remember that the same grace that saved you is the same grace thats available to you every second of the day
I found grace at the most underserving moment in my life [the cross]. What about you?
I know we often generalize the work of grace, but I wanna know...
What is a specific underserving moment when you found grace from Jesus?
