Seven Last Sayings from the Cross

 

“Verily I say unto thee, today shalt thou be with me in paradise.”

 

It was strange that Christ should find a friend dying on the cross by His side.  Nobody else spoke to him about a kingdom.  This dying thief touches the heart of Jesus by the mention of a kingdom and making a request to Him concerning that kingdom even when the King was in His death agony. Notice the response of Jesus. “Truly I tell you”, and here He is, even on the cross still the same preacher.
