Today’s Verse:
Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." - Luke 23:43
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
Thankyou for giving us Luke to tell us this story about the criminals who hung beside Jesus. Father, this man was a convicted criminal, but he was less guilty than many of those who stood beside the cross reviling Jesus! Father, he heard Jesus' teachings and he said "we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."
Indeed, Father, for all those other men, they didn't see nothing, but for this dying man, he feared of no other power but God alone, so he actually said something decent, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
Father, we all heard Jesus' teaching, we all know how He has healed the sick and pardoned the sin. Father, we all knew Jesus' deeds, we all know how he has died for us in exchange of God's forgiveness.
Father, we believe that Jesus had suffered wrongfully, just like this criminal. Father, we believe that we can humble ourselves, stand up boldly infront of You and truely confess our sins, just like this criminal. Father, we also believe that we will be qualify to follow Jesus into the paradise.
For we know Jesus Christ died to open the kingdom of heaven to all penitent, obedient believers.
In Jesus’ Name we pray, Amen.
