“I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” ~ Luke 5:32 A Life-Saving Conversation Between Jesus And A Thief Two unnamed men were found guilty of theft and sentenced to a public death. On execution day, soldiers bound them to wooden crosses that were hastily dropped into two deep holes on the left and right sides of a hill outside of Jerusalem. A third man would hang that day. His name was Jesus. He was the Messiah, God’s Son.
