Easter In Our Eyes | Week 3

WEEK 3 | THE OUTSIDEREaster In Our Eyes Series | Pastor Craig TurnbullBannockburn ChurchIn Week 3 of Easter In Our Eyes, Pastor Craig invites us to see the cross through the eyes of an unexpected person: a thief. Not powerful like Pilate or close to Jesus like Peter, this man represents the ultimate outsider. Yet in his final moments, he encounters Jesus and discovers a truth that changes everything—nothing is too late, and no one is too far gone.Walking through Luke 23:39–43, this message reveals the powerful contrast between two responses to Jesus: rejection and repentance. One thief mocks. The other confesses, believes, and simply asks to be remembered. What he receives in return is far greater than he could imagine: immediate salvation, restored relationship with Jesus, and the promise of eternal life in Paradise.This message reminds us that Easter is not just for the religious or the close followers of Jesus—it is for the outsider, the broken, and the guilty. It is for all of us.Key Takeaways:We are all outsiders in need of grace.Jesus draws near to those who turn to Him.Salvation is not earned, but received through faith.It is never too late to respond to Jesus.The cross offers immediate and eternal hope.Related Scriptures:Luke 23:39–43Isaiah 53:12Ephesians 2:8–9John 15:13If you’ve ever felt too far gone, too late, or unworthy of grace, this message is a powerful reminder that Jesus still saves—and He still welcomes outsiders into His Kingdom.Need prayer?
