Faith Against All Odds
Commentators like John Calvin and John Gill describe the thief's faith as one of the most remarkable examples in Scripture. While Jesus was dying and seemingly defeated, this man saw a King and believed in a future kingdom. His faith, expressed at Christ's lowest moment, is presented as a powerful model for all believers, challenging us to trust in Jesus even when circumstances seem hopeless.
