Last Words Of Christ: The Rich Young Ruler

Video Illustration

Produced by Skit Guys

The rich young ruler expresses his frustration at the fact that Jesus offered eternal life to the thief hanging beside Him on the cross, when he himself had worked so hard to live a good life to earn salvation. He realizes that Jesus offered salvation to the man simply because he asked for it, not because he had done anything to earn it. This video is based on Luke 23:43, and is part of the Last Words of Christ Easter series, and can also stand alone as a sermon illustration on salvation.

But, instead of killing the Messiah, the cross has become a canvas for salvation. The hole that was meant to serve as an instrument of shame and death was instead filled with an instrument to bring healing and new life. That’s the way God is! Nothing is impossible with Him. He takes what is evil and turns it for Good. He has the power to take our graves and turn them into gardens. Use this new video made in collaboration with Media That Matters to share the Good News!
