God's Plan of Grace
Surprisingly, God had a plan of salvation for sinners as well. He made a garment of skin for Adam, who had defiled Eden and was driven out. Genesis 3:21 The LORD God made a garment of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. This is the love of God who provided the atoning death for sinful humans.
He came to earth for sinners.
The purpose of Jesus Christ's coming to this earth was to save souls that were dead because of sin. The betrayal of Judas Iscariot Judas Iscariot is a representative figure of unbelief. He is one with Adam who polluted the Garden of Blessings and Joy. It is the image of a sinner who did not speak out about his evil.
The trial of the unjust Pilate
Unqualified judges, even more unjust liberals, accused Jesus of being a traitor and evildoer to the Roman Empire. Pilate's court found no sin, but sentenced it for personal comfort.
bear the cross
Our Lord willingly ascended to the throne of Golgotha. And He was hung on the cross as a form of shameful sinners. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is in accordance with the will of God the Father. The crucifixion of Jesus Christ is the cross of atonement for sinners. The cross that Jesus carried is the cross that we are proud of.
those crucified with Jesus
They deliberately crucified Jesus with evil prisoners. They made Jesus appear to be a vicious sinner.
two evildoers
Those who deserve to be nailed to the cross, or maybe those who were crucified on both sides of the cross of Jesus, are the image of all mankind. Both are filthy, crucified evildoers. All of them are wicked people.
The difference between the two evildoers
But centered on the cross, they will go on a completely different final path of life. What good can they do on the cross!!
slander of an evildoer
another evildoer's supplication
While praying for forgiveness, the robber confesses his desire to be renewed, Jesus Christ as the Lord of life. The Lord who accepted the forgiveness and mercy of Jesus, the Lord who promised paradise.
