The story of the thief on the cross proves – perhaps more clearly than anywhere else in the Bible – that you are not saved by what you do. You are saved by what Jesus did for you. . .

No matter what struggles you have, no matter what pain you feel, no matter what unkindness you have experienced from others, no matter what issues are going on in your family. . . .you are an important part of God’s story.

Here is the reality of being a Christian: No matter what factors make you feel like a foreigner or a stranger in this world, you’re not a foreigner or stranger to God. Not anymore. . . .

God knows exactly what he’s doing. Some of the time – even most of the time – what he’s doing makes no sense to us. But our job isn’t to make sense of things, is it? Our job is to trust him. And when God’s people trust him, he does greater things in us and through us then we could have possibly imagined.
