3 Crosses

Roger Carswell suggested that we might think of the 3 crosses of Luke 23:39-43 alongside Romans 6:23:

(1) The cross of rebellion - the unrepentant criminal - "the wages of sin is death"

(2) The cross of repentance - the repentant criminal - "the gift of God is eternal life"

(3) The cross of redemption - the Lord Jesus Christ - "in / through Christ Jesus our Lord"
