"The Crucifixion with the Two Thieves"

All four gospels mention these two thieves, but Mark, Matthew, and John only say they were crucified with Jesus. Luke 23:32-43 is the only verse that mentions the interaction between Jesus and the criminals. We don’t know their names, but they deserved their punishment by law. Their sins earned them an eternal spiritual penalty and a brutal physical death. Jesus didn’t deserve the sentence, but He hung amongst them, as the prophet Isaiah foretold in Isaiah 53:12 and as the Father purposed.

The two thieves were aggressive men that lived to kill, destroy and steal. Their lives furthered Satan’s purposes; in contrast, as described in John 10:9-10, Jesus came to provide abundant and whole life to those who would receive it.
