Have you found your calling?
5. Matthew 6:33-34
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
11. 2 Timothy 1:10
He has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

“What can We Learn from then Thief on the Cross?” Drawing inspiration from Luke 23:39-43
In Luke 23:39-43, we encounter a powerful and transformative moment that occurs at the crucifixion of Jesus. Amidst the pain, suffering, and chaos surrounding the cross, a profound exchange takes place between Christ and one of the criminals crucified beside Him. This encounter reveals deep truths about grace, salvation, and the heart of God. As we explore this passage, we are invited to see ourselves in the story of the thief and reflect on the lessons his final moments teach us.
The thief on the cross stands as a symbol of human brokenness, yet also of divine mercy. He was a man condemned for his crimes, facing the just punishment for his deeds. But in his final moments, he recognized something extraordinary about Jesus. Despite his own guilt, he saw the innocence of the man beside him. He called out in humility, acknowledging both his sin and Jesus' kingship. This act of faith, simple yet profound, resulted in a promise that would change his eternity: "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."
What can we learn from this thief? His story reminds us that it is never too late to turn to Jesus. His repentance, even in the last moments of life, reminds us of the vastness of God’s grace. No matter how far we may have wandered or how deep our sin, Christ's arms are always open to those who seek Him. The thief's plea for mercy shows that salvation is not about what we can do or achieve; it’s about acknowledging who Jesus is and accepting the gift He offers.
As we delve into this passage, let us reflect on the nature of our own faith. Are we, like the thief, willing to recognize our need for a Savior? And are we open to the truth that no one is beyond the reach of God's grace? Through the story of the thief on the cross, we are reminded that even in our darkest moments, Christ offers hope and redemption.
