Remember Me

Then He said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth...today you will be with me in paradise." Luke 23:42, 43

This man's words are profound to me because they reflect the heart of every sinner confronted with their sin and the righteousness of God. When we realize how good God is and the depth of His love for us, what else can we hope for...but to receive His mercy and to be "remembered" in Heaven. The beauty part here is that Jesus responded to him with the same assurance every believer holds on to - one day we will too will be remembered and we will be with Jesus in Paradise.
