John 6:29 Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
Luke 23:40-43
But the other criminal protested, Dont you fear God even when you have been sentenced to die? We deserve to die for our crimes, but this man hasnt done anything wrong. Then he said, Jesus, remember me when you come into your Kingdom.
And Jesus replied, I assure you, today you will be with me in paradise.
So how did the thief get a break? Is Jesus sufficient? Maybe the thief said a rosary and Mary got him a parole!
