The Three Crosses
John 19:17-25
And he bearing his cross went forth into a place called the place of a skull, which is called in the Hebrew Golgotha:…


I. THAT OF JESUS; dying for sin — redemption.

II. THAT OF THE IMPENITENT ROBBER; dying in sin — perdition.

III. THAT OF THE PENITENT ROBBER; dying out of sin — salvation.

(T. Whitelaw, D. D.)There were three hanging there. The first was the Saviour; the second to be saved; the third to be damned. The pain of all three was one; but the cause diverse.

( Augustine.)
