Bible Question: May ask this question about what Jesus said to one of the malefactors, in Luke 23:43 is this part of the great commission? |
Bible Answer: The great commission is a term that is used to explain what Christ wants believers to do, i.e. believers are given a commission to do something. Common logic would tells me that Luke 23:43 could not be part of the great commission seeing that it was spoken to only one person whose time in this life was about to end and besides all that the one hanging on the cross couldn't do anything while he was still on the cross, he can't even change his physical position. Only by the proper mental attitude thinking was he able to change his future eternal position, i.e. he placed himself in Christ by believing in Jesus as the Christ, thus guaranteeing where he will spend eternity: This is the message that we should convey to the world as a part of the great commission but that is the only connection that I can see. |
