The Other Thief At The CrossLuke 23:39-41

1. There are only two types of people in the

world: believers and unbelievers.

The Other Thief At The CrossLuke 23:39-41

2. There is no salvation in physical closeness to

Jesus. (The other thief hung next to Christ

without accepting Him.) He hung next to the

“bread of life” but would not eat. He hung next

to the “door of heaven” but would not enter.

The Other Thief At The CrossLuke 23:39-41

3. The other thief spent his last hours with Jesus

and yet will spend eternity without Him.

The Other Thief At The CrossLuke 23:39-41

4. Difficulty will harden some and soften others.

(One thief’s heart was hardened and the other

became softened.) The sun hardens clay but it

melts wax. Isn’t this the very theme of life?

The Other Thief At The CrossLuke 23:39-41

5. The other thief couldn’t believe a suffering

Savior could save him. (He challenged him to

save him physically with no sense of his

spiritual need of repentance.)

The Other Thief At The CrossLuke 23:39-41

6. Dying will not lead all men to Christ.

The Other Thief At The CrossLuke 23:39-41

7. A man that doesn’t fear God, will not fear

judgment.

The Other Thief At The CrossLuke 23:39-41

7. A man that doesn’t fear God, will not fear

judgment.

Conclusion: We are all one of the two thieves.

Which one are you?
