\nHow Was the Thief on the Cross Saved?
\nCan we today be saved just like\u00a0the \u201cthief on the cross\u201d was?
\nMatthew 27:38-44; Luke 23:32-43; Matthew 28:18-20<\/p>\n
\u00a9By Edward Short \/ \u8c22\u5fb7\u534e<\/p>\n
Sometimes we hear a preacher encourage Christians to serve the Lord like Mary Magdalene, contribute money like Joseph of Arimathea, preach like Paul and witness for Jesus like the woman in Samaria. Sometimes we hear a preacher encourage non-Christians to read the Bible and hear the words of God, believe and rely on Jesus and receive eternal life, and be saved like the thief on the cross. In fact, Christians should serve the Lord, contribute money and speak good words on behalf of the Lord. It is also true that non-Christians should read the Bible, and believe in Jesus. However, according to Bible teaching, people today cannot be saved like the thief on the cross. Please consider the following explanation\u2026<\/p>\n
I. Jesus Christ was born and died under (during) the Law of Moses<\/p>\n
1. Three periods (dispensations) of Bible history:<\/p>\n
1) Patriarchal Age;
\n2) Mosaic Age;
\n3) Christian Age (or Age of Christ)<\/p>\n
2. Jesus was born under the law (Galatians 4:4-5). The period while Jesus was on earth was at the end of the Mosaic Age, but Jesus lived and preached under (during) the law of Moses; Jesus kept (obeyed) the law of Moses.<\/p>\n
3. The foundation of the Age of Christ is the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Christian Age did not begin until after Jesus died and was resurrected. Jesus was resurrected and ascended to heaven; after another forty days God established his church, as recorded in Acts chapter two.<\/p>\n
II. When he was on earth, Jesus had authority to forgive sins<\/p>\n
1. Mark 2:5: Before Jesus healed the paralytic, he forgave the man\u2019s sins<\/p>\n
2. Luke 7:47-50: Jesus forgave a sinful woman<\/p>\n
III. When on the cross, Jesus forgave one of the two robbers<\/p>\n
1. Luke 23:43: Jesus told the thief: Today you will be with me in Paradise<\/p>\n
2. The way Jesus forgave (saved) the thief was no different from the way he forgave the paralytic and the sinful woman: Jesus forgave them directly, based on who he was and on this authority. The paralytic went to see Jesus in order to walk; he did not ask Jesus to forgive him. The impure woman expressed love and faith; Jesus told her, \u201cYour faith has saved you.\u201d These people were saved, but Jesus had not yet shed his blood. Jesus did not tell them to be baptized. The thief was the same situation. (At that time, John had already baptized and Jesus\u2019 disciples baptized, but Jesus had not yet suffered, died and been raised.)<\/p>\n
3. These three people all lived the \u201cthat\u201d side of the cross; they lived prior to death of Jesus<\/p>\n
1) Jesus saved the paralytic and the sinful woman a few weeks or months before his death<\/p>\n
2) Jesus saved the thief a few minutes before his death<\/p>\n
IV. After Jesus was resurrected, he instructed his disciples to go into all the world and preach the gospel and baptize people:<\/p>\n
1. Matthew 28:18-20: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”<\/p>\n
2. The people to whom the disciples preached lived on \u201cthis\u201d side of the cross (including us today).<\/p>\n
3. When the apostles put Jesus\u2019 command into effect and preached the gospel to non-Christians, the content of the gospel that they preached included: believe, repent, be baptized, etc, just as Jesus had told them in Matthew 28. (Please see all the examples of conversion in the book of Acts.) No wonder, then, that the apostle Peter said (in Acts 2:38): “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off–for all whom the Lord our God will call.”<\/p>\n
4. Saul (the apostle Paul) is an example: Even though Jesus appeared to him personally, even he was baptized. (See Acts chapters 9, 22, 26.) If Paul should be baptized, what about you and me?<\/p>\n
5. Conclusion: Today, we too live on \u201cthis\u201d side of the cross, so we cannot be like the paralytic, the sinful woman or the thief on the cross. They did not need to be baptized, but today we are like those people as recorded in the book of Acts. We should: believe in the Lord, repent of our sins, be baptized. When we obey the Lord in this way, God uses the holy blood of Jesus and forgives our sins, and he adds us to his spiritual family (the church).<\/p>\n
