Thief Repents on the Cross
Theme: Contrition
Biblical Basis • Luke 23:32-43
When Jesus was put to death on the cross, two criminals were crucified alongside him. One cursed Jesus like all the others, but one of the criminals had a change of heart. He spoke up for Jesus, and asked Jesus to remember him. Jesus promised they would be in paradise together.
Additional Text: Isaiah 53:3-6
Lesson Prayer
Forgiving God, your mercy never ceases when we come to you with contrite hearts. We give thanks that you hear our prayers for forgiveness and you restore us to a right relationship with you through your Son. Pour out your Spirit upon us that we might be humble and meek, always seeking your will for our lives. We pray this in the precious name of Jesus. Amen.
