The Transformation on Good Friday

Initially, Good Friday seemed like a day of suffering and agony for many, including the Roman centurion and the criminal being crucified beside Jesus. The criminal, at first consumed by anger and bitterness, witnessed Jesus' forgiving nature and profound prayer for those crucifying him. This experience led to a transformation within the criminal, as he recognized Jesus as the promised Messiah and King. Overwhelmed by this realization, he humbly asked Jesus to remember him in His Kingdom, signaling a radical shift from despair to hope and redemption.
