Thanks for joining us here today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the audio broadcast ministry of Pastor Rick Warren.

Today we continue in a series called The Seven Greatest Words of Love.

There are seven words in particular that Jesus spoke during his final hours on the cross that hold the keys

for finding fulfillment in your life, relationships, and even your career. Right now, here's Pastor

Rick with part two of a message called the Word of Assurance. Notice the third thing this thief says,

he's uneducated, but he knows the important stuff.

And what he knows in Luke 2341 is this. I know that this man has not done anything wrong.

Now I want you to circle on your outlines the word anything. I know that this man, talking about

Jesus, has not done anything wrong. Now notice what

he doesn't say. He doesn't say, this guy Jesus hanging here on the cross, I know he's not

as bad as we are. He doesn't say that. He doesn't compare. This guy's not as bad as we are.

We deserve it, but he doesn't deserve. No, he says, this guy has never done anything wrong.

The word there in Greek, Odace, literally means zero, not a nothing, zip.

He's never done anything wrong.

Now, question, has anybody ever said that about you?

No.

Or me? Do you know that it's ever been said about anybody? No. Because you can't say that

about a mere human being. You can't say about any human being. He's never done anything wrong.

You just can't say it because humans are frail and we make mistakes and we have feelings and sins.

And so when this guy says he's never done anything, not one thing in his life wrong, he's saying,

this guy's not a mere man.

This is not a human we're dying next to.
