Luke 23:42 And he said to Jesus, Lord, remember me when you come into your kingdom. I. HIS WONDERFUL FAITH. "When Thou comest into Thy kingdom." When Charles I. of England, or Maximilian, the brilliantly brief Mexican emperor, were about to suffer death, suppose such an expectation had been expressed to them! It would have been considered a sickly taunt. Not so this. II. HIS REMARKABLE REQUEST. "Remember me." "God is not unrighteous to forget" Christian labour of love, but here was a miserable culprit who had never done Jesus any good turn. Charles II. and Louis Napoleon rewarded friends of their exile, but how about this request? What could he expect to be remembered for? 1. As a penitent sinner. 2. As one who has trust in a perfect Saviour. (Charles M. Jones.)
