What I Believe

The thief on the crow believed and was saved. Would it, indeed, have been a bad thing, a thing hurtful to any one, had the thief not died on the cross, but descended from it and related his belief in Jesus? I too, like the thief on the cross, believed the teaching of Jesus and was saved. And this is no far fetched comprison, but the most exact representa tion of that mental state of despair and horror at the problem of life and death in which I once found myself, and of that condition of peace and happiness in which I now live.
