7 Stories of Love-Story #7

In this powerful message, we're invited to reflect on the transformative story of the thieves crucified alongside Jesus. The central theme revolves around the profound difference between self-reliance and surrendering to Christ's love. We're challenged to examine which thief we resemble in our spiritual journey - the one full of pride or the one who humbly asks, 'Jesus, remember me.' This simple yet profound request becomes our model for approaching God, reminding us that salvation isn't about our own efforts, but about Christ's sacrifice. The message encourages us to shift our focus from 'I trouble' to 'Jesus solution,' emphasizing that true peace and assurance come from decreasing ourselves so that Christ may increase in our lives. As we contemplate our own mortality, we're urged to embrace the perfect love of Jesus that casts out all fear, allowing us to face judgment with confidence and live each day in the assurance of God's unfailing love and promise of paradise.
