This is a story to illustrate that when finally confronted with our sin there are really only two genuine reactions. Eternity hinges on whether a soul is defiant or repentant. And whether or not they are able to believe in the “Son of God”...
1st Thief: IT HURTS!!! You saved others, Christ! Come on! Save yourself! If you’re the Son of God come off of the cross. They say you’re a god! They say you’re a king! Well I say you’re a man, and I’ll watch you bleed.
You’ve got power! Son of God, now you’re dying. You’ve got power! Son of God.
Roman Guard: They came to laugh and jeer, to scoff and to scorn! “Behold the King of the Jews!” and his crown of thorns. “We have no king but Caesar!” I heard the priests say. Well I don’t believe those religious folk ya know, They’re all hypocrites anyway.
You’ve got power! Son of God, now you’re dying. You’ve got power! Son of God!
2nd Thief: Have you no shame!? No godly fear!? Would you mock innocent blood? You and I, we know why we’re here. When you come into your Kingdom Lord, would you remember me? Jesus: Verily today we shall be together in paradise. 2nd Thief: Oh, I’m FREE!
Roman Guard: You’ve got power, Son of God! Now you’re dying! 1st Thief: You’ve got power, Son of God! Now we’re dyin’! 2nd Thief: You’ve got power, Son of God! Raise the dead.
