People are mocking Jesus that day.

Both thieves alongside of Him were doing the same thing.

Both were joining right along with the other spectators in mocking him.

I imagine that one was more aware that he was on the edge of eternity.

At some point, a stillness must've filled his soul as he questioned himself,
Why am I doing this?
Why am I trying to pick a fight with Almighty God.
What kind of regular man would turn to God and ask Him to "forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing."

It was the work of the Holy Spirit who brought about an awareness of who this one thief was observing.

His heart changed, he repented.

And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!"
And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise."
Luke 23:42,43

It's never too late for someone who is fighting against God to change, to turn to God and ask for forgiveness.

The thief on the cross being granted salvation at that last moment seems unfair to many,
but that shows the unmerited favor that comes from our Creator.

Offered to all without exception, it's never too late to turn to Jesus Christ.
The Good News of Good Friday.
