John 10:10 "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly."
The thief on the cross beleived in Jesus and was saved.
He saved a thief who really did something bad, but the thief trusted in Jesus! Isn't that a miracle!
Two criminals, often called the "good" thief and the "bad" thief. The "good" thief admitted his sin and accepted Jesus on the cross. The"good thief" asked to come with Jesus to be with him; Jesus told him today you will be with me in paradise. He is said to be the first Saint as he went directly to Heaven by God's order.
The person on Jesus right on the cross , then it is a robber.
This sentence was said by Jesus when He was Crucified and it was told to the thief crucified beside Him (on His right).It means that after the death of Jesus and the death of the thief crucified in His right,this thief will be with Jesus in the paradise as it is the place to which christians,good Christians, go after their death as a place to wait before the last day and after this day,good people will go from the paradise to the Eternal life with Jesus in the Heavens.Jesus said this to the thief crucified to His right because he accepted Jesus as a God and a Savior...
JESUS was crucified with two criminals or two thiefs,one on His right,usually known as "Dimas" and this was the thief who believed in JESUS as a Lord and as a Savior,and the other thief was on the left of JESUS and this one denied JESUS as a Lord and a Savior.
Referring to Luke 23:39-43, the thief first acknowledges that he is receiving just punishment (death), and that Jesus had done nothing wrong to receive this punishment. His request to Jesus, "Remember me when you come into your kingdom." implies the thief is putting his trust in Jesus for salvation.
My guess is "Thief" by Third Day.
One of the thieves who was crucified with Him. The first thief goaded Jesus saying that if he was 'the Son of God' he could save both himself and them. However the second thief recognised Jesus' innocence and his own guilt and asked Jesus to remember him when he came into his kingdom. As a result of his turning to Christ, Jesus then promised that that very day the thief would be with him, in paradise.
His name is not given in the New Testament, probably since the focus is on Jesus.
All we know is that one robber repented , and the other robber rebuked Jesus.
At the Crucifixion:The 'Good Thief" St Dismas was on Christ's RightandThe 'Bad Thief' named Gestas was on His Left.
