Why We All Need Jesus

I have been reading the story of The Crucifixion of Jesus- Luke 23:39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “ Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!” Many still question who Jesus is, his power to save, heal , deliver or to be on time if has done it before and I guarantee that he has then he can do it again. You need to recognize why you are still here you have the power to keep yourself without God. By being in agreement with those who don't believe in Jesus makes you guilty by association. After everything that he has done for your already why are you still doubting Jesus. Pilate tried to wash his hands of the blood of Jesus too but he too was still guilty. I would ask today who is on the Lord's side because some of us need to start taking a stand for the Lord. 40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.” We still look at our situations always able to see the problem, but with an inability to recognize that the solution is in your midst, JESUS! 42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom. Many of us are still in our same situations because we haven't humbled ourselves to repent and ask the Lord to remember us. 43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” There no greater assurance that Jesus offers then this, that when you are absent from this present body you can immediately be with Jesus in paradise.
