This is Max Lakato. Think about the thief on the cross who repented. We know little about him,

but we know this. He made some bad mistakes in his life. But is he spending eternity reaping

the fruit of all the bad choices he made? No, just the opposite. He is enjoying the fruit

of the one good choice he made. You may look back over your life and say,

If only, if only I could make up for those bad choices. You can. One good choice for eternity

offsets a thousand bad ones on earth. How could two thieves see the same Jesus and one choose

to mock him and the other choose to pray to him?

When one prayed, Jesus loved him enough to save him.

When the other mocked, Jesus loved him enough to let him.

He allowed him the choice, and he does the same for you.
