THE 7 LAST SAYINGS FROM THE CROSS
THE SECOND SAYING
Scripture:“Truly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.” — Luke 23:43

Thought Of The Day...
In the midst of unimaginable suffering, Jesus speaks words of hope, grace, and eternal promise. Hanging beside Him was a criminal—guilty, broken, and deserving of punishment. Yet in his final moments, he turned to Jesus with a humble heart and simple faith: “Lord, remember me…” (Luke 23:42).
What follows is one of the most powerful demonstrations of grace in all of Scripture. Jesus did not ask for a lifetime of good works. He did not require religious rituals. He responded instantly to genuine faith. With authority and compassion, He declared, “Today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
This moment reveals that salvation is not earned—it is received. It shows us that no one is too far gone, no past too dark, no life too broken that the grace of God cannot redeem. Even at the very edge of death, mercy was available.
Jesus didn’t just save the man—He assured him. “Today…” not someday, not maybe, but immediately. This is the certainty we have in Christ: when we place our faith in Him, eternity is secured. Paradise is not just a place—it is being with Him.
This saying reminds us that it is never too late to turn to Jesus. Grace meets us in our lowest place and lifts us into eternal life.

Prayer...
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your amazing grace. Thank You that You see me, even in my brokenness, and offer me forgiveness and eternal life. Help me to trust You fully and to remember that Your mercy is always within reach. Teach me to extend that same grace to others.

Declaration...
I am saved by grace through faith. My past is forgiven, my future is secure, and through Christ, I have the promise of eternal life.
