Listen from:
“They crucified Him, and two other with Him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst” (John 19:1818Where they crucified him, and two other with him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst. (John 19:18)). “So there was a division among the people because of Him” (John 7:4343So there was a division among the people because of him. (John 7:43)).
What a moment in the world’s history - the crucified Son of God dividing the malefactors (evildoers, or criminals) the one from the other. From that day the crucified Lord Jesus separates the inhabitants of the world into two distinct peoples.
No one can be neutral! On which side of the cross are you? Are you on the side of him who only “reviled Him,” or are you with the one who acknowledged his guilt and said, “Lord, remember me”?
“O taste and see that
the Lord is good:
blessed is the man that
trusteth in Him.”
“He [Jesus] is able also to save them
to the uttermost that come unto God
by Him [Jesus].”
