1A.  JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED WITH SINNERS BECAUSE HE WAS CRUCIFIED FOR SINNERS (John 3.16)

2A.  WHILE THEY HUNG ON THE CROSS PROPHECIES WERE BEING FULFILLED (Isaiah 53.1-10; Psalm 69.21)

3A.  ONE THIEF RAILED AGAINST JESUS, WHILE THE OTHER TURNED TO HIM (Luke 23.39-42)

4A.  JESUS SAVED THE ONE WHO TURNED TO HIM (Luke 23.43)

5A.  HAD NOT THE GOSPEL OF LUKE BEEN WRITTEN NO ONE WOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE ONE THIEF’S CONVERSION

“One thief was saved, so that none needs to despair; but only one, so that none may presume.”

What lesson to learn from Arlene’s life on earth, ended so soon? Ecclesiastes 12.1-14 tell us, at the beginning and at the end.
