Last second shot
To me, a most dramatic Christmas story occurs not at the beginning Nativity; but at the end, at the Crucifixion when one of the criminals hanging alongside Jesus and with virtually no time left on the clock makes a desperate, last-second attempt to secure his salvation and says, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom." And Jesus.......
counts it as good!!! "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise." A gift of eternal life! What an awesome and gracious God!
