It was on the good thief and how our Lord manifests his kingliness, even from the cross.
He issues a royal proclamation: Amen, I say to you, this day you shall be with me in paradise.
He demonstrates—to the last—an excellent, kingly zeal for souls: his job was moments from being accomplished, still he save the soul of this one repenting and believing from the cross.
He gives like a king: the thief repents, asks for forgiveness, and what does he get—heaven!
