Bible Text: Luke 23:43 | Preacher: Andrew Lansdown | The love of Christ is selfless (he still had time for the dying thief), sovereign (one criminal died in his sin and the other in the Lord), surprising (it is for sinners), sure (He says “assuredly”), strong (death is crushed and no longer has dominion over the believer), saving (today the vile sinner will be with Him in paradise) and secure (it cannot let the thief go, and the same wounded hands guard and keep His people safe).
