The last words of any man are significant, but how much more when those last words are spoken by the God man, the Lord Jesus?

In today's study, we visit the cross and listen to the final words of Christ spoken just before his death. You will find

that they hold tremendous truth and application for all of us who live on this side of the cross. Open

your Bible and let's join Scott Paulie now at Calvary.

One word from Jesus changes everything, and one day can change all of eternity.

That's what we're learning from our study in Luke 23, when the Lord Jesus speaks to a man on the cross and says, today, thou shalt be with me

in paradise. Now, we've learned already that today is a word of expediency. Don't put it all. Don't

waste the now. It is a present tense word today, a word of expediency. We've also learned that today is a

word of opportunity, that while we have the opportunity, seek you the Lord while he may be found,

call you upon him while he's near. The Lord was very near, and the Lord's very near to you today.

Don't waste that and don't wait. Today we learn that

today is a word of expectancy. Now think about this man. He's a criminal. He's a sinner and he is dying.

What hope could he possibly have? Oh, I love this. Jesus gives him hope for all eternity.

You see, with the Lord, there's always more to come.

With Christ, the best is always yet to come.

And though today you may be a sinner,

if today you will acknowledge who Christ is

and receive him as your Savior,

then today you can receive

eternal life. You can receive his very best. Let's listen to the rest of it. The man says to

Jesus in Luke 2342, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom. You see how he acknowledges

again who Christ is. He's the Lord and he's the king.
