b'39 One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"\\n 40 But the other rebuked him, saying, "Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?\\n 41 And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong."\\n 42 And he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."\\n 43 And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."\\n (Luk 23:39-43 ESV)Big Idea: Jesus Crucified Between Two Thieves Shatters our Two Assumptions about SalvationI. Pre Salvation- Don\'t I need to be somewhat clean for God to relate to me?II. Post Salvation- Don\'t I need to justify my status with God by doing good stuff?III. Unlike the criminal who believed, you have time between faith and death, what must you do?'
