“Three Crosses”

waterbased oil on canvas

This is a painting I have been working on for a little while. I just heard an evangelist preach on this the other day. He said “There were two thieves on the crosses with Jesus which thief are you?”. you might think “I am not a thief!” but the Bible makes it clear that we all have done wrong. We have all taken things that don’t belong to us, have we ever -over eaten? took another child’s toy?the list could go on. But you get the point we all have done wrong and because of this we deserve hell. But because God loves us he sent Jesus to die on the cross having done no wrong so we could be saved. One of the thieves realized that and told Jesus he believed in him and wanted Jesus to save him. The other one did not. The evangelist said “they both went out in to eternity one to hell and the other to heaven”. You need to make your own decision, not to trust in any good work you can do to save yourself but to trust in Jesus and what he did alone to save you. The evangelist also pointed out that Jesus even as he was dieing tried to reach another soul. If we are going to be like  Jesus we need to reach souls. We need to be telling others that Jesus died to save them and that they can go to heaven if they will ask him to save them. That is our job while we are on this earth.
