What Does Matthew 27:38 Mean?
Jesus is crucified between two thieves, one on His right and one on His left. He is numbered among criminals, set in the very midst of the condemned.
The sinless One hangs between two guilty men, counted among transgressors as the prophets had spoken. Even in death His place is among sinners, for it is sinners He came to save. To be crucified in their company is no accident but the fitting end of a life given to the lost. The cross places Christ where He has always longed to be: in the midst of those who need Him most.
