Extraordinary
afflictions are not always the punishment of extraordinary sins, but sometimes
the trial of extraordinary graces.

Three Men Dying
As we look back at the Crucifixion Day of our Lord and Savior, we see three men dying.
(1) Jesus, The Man in the Middle, died for sin, so we could choose saving peace over sin's penalty.
(2) One man crucified beside Jesus, died to sin. Humbling himself, he prayed: Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom. He died focused on Jesus, with the Hope of perpetual Paradise.
(3) The other man crucified beside Jesus, died in sin. So close to the Savior, he chose to turn away from Jesus and died in the horror of eternal punishment.
Two robbers were crucified with Jesus, one on his right and one on his left. -- Matthew 27:38 (NLT)

IF MY PEOPLE... WILL? I WILL! God's Promise in 2 Chron. 7:14. Grateful
