Third Day in Topeka, KS

Aimee and I were supposed to attend a Third Day concert last night in Topeka, but having just given birth two days earlier, Aimee didn't feel up to it.  I can't imagine why.  I took Isaiah instead, and had some great bonding time with my eldest son.  You can watch great video of the show on YouTube.  No, I didn't film it, and I found the link on Third Day's official site (they announced at the concert there would be video on their site), so I assume they're OK with it.

Third Day Live: "Thief"

Man, I love this song!



Few stories in the Bible exemplify the Gospel more completely than the story of the thief on the Cross (Luke 23).

³⁹ One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”
 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.”
 ⁴² Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.^[d]”
 ⁴³ Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

It's all there in five short verses; confession, repentance, recognition of Jesus as the Messiah and complete dependence on Him.  The thief had no time to make up for all the evil he'd perpetrated on others.  He had no good deeds to his name.  He couldn't possibly rely on his good deeds to outweigh the bad, and he knew it.  In case you didn't know this already, neither can any of us.

I love this song!
