Summary
One of the criminals who were hanged there kept deriding him and saying, Are you not the Messiah save yourself and us? Then he said, Jesus remember me when you come into your kingdom. Verse 39, please, one of the criminals who were hang there, kept deriding Him and saying, are you not the Messiah, save yourself and us? You see, when you go to the parallels of this account, when you go to the other gospel accounts here, that tell of these three crosses, when you go there, what you see is that the one criminal, who is enmentioned here in Luke, that one criminal, also mocked Jesus. And he asks Jesus to remember when Jesus would come into his kingdom. The light of the world, the one who takes all of our sin upon him, the one who pays the debt we could never pay, the one who shits his blood, the spotless sinless lamb of God, who goes to the cross to take all of our sin upon him, the weight of the world's sin upon him, and this light, Rembrandt has come focusing right down upon Jesus, amidst all of the darkness, there is the beam of light, right on.
