The Word of Salvation

The two transgressors (Mark 15.28) are called simply “bad workers” in Luke’s version while Mathew and Mark call them “thieves” (λῃστής) not likely petty thieves but likely repeat offenders, armed robbers or even revolutionaries against Rome who had stolen to support their cause. This morning, I want to look especially at ONE of these thieves and even though we only have very few words describing him we actually get quite a bit of information.

So, let’s look at:
1. What the thief knew
2. What he wanted
3. How he got it and
4. What ever happened to those thieves?
