His Kingdom Comes – Day 92

Beginning with the truth that the Lord is king over all the earth, reading of God's promise of a coming king, Christ's declaration and explanation of the Kingdom, and culminating with a glimpse towards the day when the kingdom of the world becomes the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, when he will reign for ever and ever.

Bible text(s)

Luke 23

38Above him were written these words: “This is the King of the Jews.”

39One of the criminals hanging there hurled insults at him: “Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

40The other one, however, rebuked him, saying, “Don't you fear God? You received the same sentence he did. 41Ours, however, is only right, because we are getting what we deserve for what we did; but he has done no wrong.” 42And he said to Jesus, “Remember me, Jesus, when you come as King!”

43Jesus said to him, “I promise you that today you will be in Paradise with me.”
