The Real Story of the Theif

And, as Jesus was being executed, giving his life away for the redemption of man, two other men, both criminals, were being executed alongside Jesus.

One of the criminals spewed insults at Jesus and mocked him. He told him to save himself, and them, in a showing of his power.

The other criminal, a thief, took a different approach. He rebuked the other criminal and looked at Jesus, his heart genuine and his motive pure. He asked Jesus a simple question.

"Jesus, will you remember me when you come into your kingdom?"

And Jesus, with all the energy and passion he could muster, did answer in the following manner:

"Hell yeah!" (in a very rednecky-voice)
