In this episode of What Faith Looks Like, Paul reflects on one of the most astonishing expressions of faith found anywhere in Scripture: the faith of the criminal crucified beside Jesus. As he hung dying, this man moved from mocking to deep reflection, confessing his guilt, recognizing Jesus’ innocence, and expressing remarkable trust in Christ’s identity, mission, resurrection, and coming Kingdom. In a single heartfelt plea: “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom” demonstrates his extraordinary understanding and belief, even in the midst of agony.His story reminds us that true faith begins with honesty before God, grows through understanding the gospel, and trusts completely in Jesus’ power to save, forgive, raise the dead, and welcome repentant sinners into God’s Kingdom. It shows us that it is never too late to turn to Christ, that hope is possible even at the point of death, and that faith clings to Jesus with confidence that He will return and reign as King.
