How does the thief on the cross fit into your theology?

I virtually never post something on our blog from Facebook. In fact, this is maybe the first time. But this is so good I felt I should pass it on. On FB this is credited to a Ron Corzine.

I have added the text below. Makes it easier to share.

Ron Corzine … How does the thief on the cross fit into your theology?
How does the thief on the cross fit into your theology? No baptism, no communion, no confirmation, no speaking in tongues, no mission trip, no volunteerism, and no church clothes. He couldn’t even bend his knees to pray. He didn’t say the sinner’s prayer and among other things, he was a thief. Jesus didn’t take away his pain, heal his body, or smite the scoffers. Yet it was a thief who walked into heaven the same hour as Jesus simply by believing. He had nothing more to offer other than his belief that Jesus was who he said he was. No spin from brilliant theologians. No ego or arrogance. No Shiny lights, skinny jeans, or crafty words. No haze machine, donuts, or coffee in the entrance. Just a naked dying man on a cross unable to even fold his hands to pray.
