Then one of the criminals said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” Luke 23:42
Even in his darkest time, as death approached, Jesus remained king. And as king, Jesus assured the criminal that all would be well for him. In our dark times, let’s remember that Jesus’ promise extends to us too.
