Alistair Begg, the senior pastor of Cleveland’s Parkside Church, delivered the clip above in a sermon:
You know, I always think about this in relationship to the thief on the cross when he arrives at the portals of heaven. You imagine that interview process?
“What are you doing here?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, who sent you here?”
“What? No one sent me here. I . . . I . . . I’m here!”
“Well, are you . . . Have you been justified by faith? Do you have peace with God?”
“I don’t know.”
“Well, do you know anything?”
“Yeah.”
“What do you know?”
“The man on the middle cross said I could come here.”
