Jesus was killed in one of the cruelest, most brutal forms of execution imaginable. Yet at the time, His execution was somewhat unremarkable. So much so that common criminals were nailed to crosses of their own on either side of Jesus – common criminals with similar records, but two very different encounters with Jesus. And as He hung there, dying, what is even more remarkable is Jesus' response. (Luke 23:39-43)
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus had extraordinary encounters with ordinary people. These were regular, every-day people who were forever changed by colliding with the living presence of Christ. And it still happens today. For when our hearts genuinely experience the grace and love of a living Jesus, we face a choice – to resist Him or to surrender. Which will we choose?
