-The impenitent was lost forever
THE PENITENT THIEF
-The Penitent Thief showed repentance
-The Penitent Thief had hope

What did it take for the criminal to acknowledge Jesus?
He saw Jesus sacrifice, he heard Jesus prayer, he heard the

The thief knew he deserved to die and accepted Jesus’
sacrifice and the ultimate price he paid for all of Mankind.
