Luke 23:41

"But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Don’t you even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?"

Key Reflection

This rebuke highlights the hardened heart of the thief, who shows no fear or reverence for God despite being condemned alongside Jesus. It underscores the stark contrast between his callousness and the faith expressed by the other thief, who acknowledges Jesus' innocence and requests salvation.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 41. Due reward for our deeds. The proper punishment for our crimes. They had been highwaymen, and it was just that they should die. {h} "hath done nothing amiss" 1 Pe 1:19. __________________________________________________________________
