Luk 23:42 Then he said to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”
Luk 23:43 And Jesus said to him, “Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
According to the gospel of Luke, one of the robbers crucified with Jesus insulted Him. However, the other robber rebuked his fellow robber. The repentant robber asked Jesus to remember him when He came to into his kingdom.
The repentant robber somehow must have arrived at the conclusion that Jesus is the Messiah and would come into his kingdom despite the crucifixion. This must have prompted him to ask for “special consideration”. The dying criminal was freely accepted and forgiven.
The Bible has a record of several people who God remembered. God remembered Noah (Gen 8:1), Hannah ( 1Sam 1:19), Rachel ( Gen 30:22) etc and He did them good.
May our heavenly father give special consideration to our requests today. Men, brethren, relatives and even close friends may forget you but our God will never do so. He has engraved your name in the palms of His hands. May He always remember you.
