Much is said about the thief who accepted Jesus offer of salvation, but not so much about the other guy. I wonder why Jesus didn't try harder to convince this thief that life with Him would be worth more than any item he could have been accused of stealing.
Well I guess that has something to do with the fact that Jesus knew about the most important choice that God had given to Adam and Eve way back at the beginning of mankind's era on this earth. He knew that God gave us a choice to choose to follow Him or not.
The wonderful thing about celebrating the cross of Christ and His sacrifice for us every year is that we get an opportunity to make that choice afresh each year.
