Divine Intervention

It was no accident that the Lord of Glory was crucified between two thieves. There are no accidents with God, especially on this day of all days, at this event of all events; a day and an event at the very center of the world's history!

Pastor Kent W. Clark shares with us the biblical accounts of the two thieves, who were present at the crucifixion of Jesus Christ!

God's amazing grace can clearly be seen in the salvation of this wretch, who hung on the very verge of hell. This thief had no moral life before his conversion; he respected neither the law of God, nor the law of man. After his conversion, he died without having the opportunity to engage in any type of service to Christ. The dying thief had no good works, either before or after conversion; thus if saved at all, he was certainly saved by sovereign grace!

His conversion occurred at a time when, to all outward appearances, Christ had lost all power to save either Himself or others.

How do you explain that this thief took a suffering, bleeding, crucified man, for his God?
