Knowing God’s Love

The Thief Knew the Miracle of Forgiveness

My favorite song by Third Day is called “Thief” and is sung from the perspective of one of the two thieves hanging on the crosses next to Jesus. It always brings tears to my eyes. I have seen Third Day in concert five times, and they...
