Now, when a great man dies, people are very anxious to get his last
words and acts. It is sweet to get the last words of the Son of God.
The last sight the world had of Christ was on the cross. They have
never seen Him since. We have no record that any uncircumcised eye
beheld Christ after He rose from the dead. The last glimpse the world
had of Christ was saving a poor sinner as he hung upon the cross,
saving him from the very jaws of hell, and the grasp of Satan. Christ
snatched him out of the very grasp of the devil, and said unto him,
"This day shalt thou be with me in paradise." The lion of the tribe of
Judah conquered the lion of hell, when He snatched the dying thief as
a lamb out of Satan's grasp. "This day shalt thou be with me in
paradise." That's the glorious gospel. Free from the law. There is no
condemnation to them that are in Christ Jesus.
