Next Episode: STEALING the THIEF on the (Other) Cross. Luke 23:43 (S3-Episode #47)

So Jesus has the most nasty actions done to Him by the most nasty people. The big question is: How does He respond?

The Good Book says that God is KIND To the UNGRATEFUL and EVIL. It is in the context of Jesus delivering the LOVE YOUR ENEMIES concept of Luke 6. God does this, therefore, so should you.

So here we are, in the most extreme of circumstances. Jesus fulfills OT prophesy by INTERCEDING for His transgressors. He actually prays for them and asks the Father to forgive them. He is kind. They are nasty.

How do they respond? They heap blasphemy upon the crucified Lord: They MOCK Him. They respond in the worst way possible...At least at first. Stay tuned. It does not end here. Come back tomorrow. Before you do, write a review on Apple Podcasts. Share the podcast with your least favorite person.
