I like to watch reality TV. Not the Fear Factor stuff but documentary / docu-drama
Recently I watched a few shows about criminals on death row. These serial killers, or compulsive multiple killers had been caught, convicted and sentenced to die.
A few of them turned to 'religion'
They realised that they needed God!
Wow! That's an under-statement of the year!
It seemed that the conversion is real and legitimate
One sought to be baptised and wrote to a local pastor wandering if his sins were too much for him to be considered baptism.
The pastor baptised him a short time before he was executed
Another, finally wrote a letter of apology to God for all the sins she'd committed and asked if she was fit for Heaven...
This brings back the story in the gospel when one of the robbers hung on the cross Next to our Lord Jesus Asked to be remembered by Jesus Jesus then replied "Today you will be with me in paradise"
Then it dawned on me The power of Forgiveness
When we get to heaven We may be in for a rude awakening.... As we come face to face with murderers, robbers, serial rapists, even war criminals who sought the Lord's forgiveness and became born again Christian.
They will be standing side by side with all who had put their faith in Jesus singing praises and hallelujahs
I don't mean to offend anyone who may have lost their loved ones through some fiendish horrific crimes
My heart cries with them wanting justice to be exacted when the culprit, caught, convicted and paid the price of their deeds
but if God could forgive them and allow them a place in Heaven
Who are we to deny them entrance to eternal life?
For that matter anyone with whom we might have had grievances would be in Heaven if they made peace with God
My question is Have I made my peace with Him?
His love is so amazing His Mercy really knows no end.
