New Life on Death Row
We see two opposite responses to Jesus from the two thieves who were crucified next to Him: One blasphemed, the other believed (Luke 23:39-42 ). We rejoice over the conversion of the one and Christ's words to him: "To day shalt thou be with Me in Paradise" (Luke 23:43 ).

"Certainly I did, I went every Sunday," said the father. Said the little fellow as he walked sadly away, I bet it won't do me any good, either."— Baptist Standard
