Poor Micro, trying to slut shame me, a happily married woman for nearly two decades. Teeny tiny men with micro manhoods often resort to misogynistic attacks. It’s okay Micro! I’m sure your disability makes it really tough to look at more successful women!

The man who died next to Jesus had nothing. No baptism. No communion. No confirmation. No speaking in tongues. No mission trip. No volunteering. No financial gifts. No church clothes. He couldn't even bend his knees to pray. Nails through his wrists meant no folded hands. No sinner's prayer crossed his lips. No altar call for a dying criminal. He was naked. Bleeding. Worthy of death under the law. Jesus didn't remove his pain. Didn't heal his broken body. Didn't silence the crowd mocking them both. Didn't bring him down from that cross. The thief had no testimony to share. No before-and-after transformation story. No time to prove his faith was real. No chance to clean up his life. Just a dying breath used to say: "Lord, remember me." And Jesus blood running down His face Turned to this worthless criminal and promised: "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." No theologian's spin needed. No brilliant sermon required. No worship team or mood lighting. No haze machines or hip pastor. No coffee bar in the lobby. No small group sign-ups. Just a naked man dying on wood. Unable to move. Unable to serve. Unable to give. Unable to perform. Unable to impress. Unable to earn. All he could do was believe. Believe that the bloodied man next to him Was who He claimed to be. That was it. That was everything. He entered paradise the same hour as Christ. Not because of what he did. Because of who Jesus is. This criminal understood in his final moments What religious men spend lifetimes missing: Salvation isn't in your performance. It's in His promise. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." A thief. A cross. A Savior. A promise. THAT IS ENOUGH.
