Hi #91974,

It was hate that chose to replace a thief for Jesus.

Jesus was scorned, tortured, hated and crowned with thorns, it was not done with love. The nails were not driven with love.

It was with love that Jesus sacrificed and allowed himself to die for us.

Jhn 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends

Mar 12:29 Jesus answered, "The foremost is, 'HEAR, O ISRAEL! THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD;
Mar 12:30 AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.'
Mar 12:31 "The second is this, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

Even today, there are still some that scoff and scorn or hate Jesus.

there are still some that scoff and scorn or hate His words.

Mat 21:33 "Listen to another parable. There was a landowner who PLANTED A VINEYARD AND PUT A WALL AROUND IT AND DUG A WINE PRESS IN IT, AND BUILT A TOWER, and rented it out to vine-growers and went on a journey.
Mat 21:34 "When the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce.
Mat 21:35 "The vine-growers took his slaves and beat one, and killed another, and stoned a third.
Mat 21:36 "Again he sent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them.
Mat 21:37 "But afterward he sent his son to them, saying, 'They will respect my son.'
Mat 21:38 "But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'
Mat 21:39 "They took him, and threw him out of the vineyard and killed him.
Mat 21:40 "Therefore when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?"
Mat 21:41 They *said to Him, "He will bring those wretches to a wretched end, and will rent out the vineyard to other vine-growers who will pay him the proceeds at the {proper} seasons."
Mat 21:42 Jesus *said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, 'THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER {stone;} THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES'?
Mat 21:43 "Therefore I say to you, the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people, producing the fruit of it.
Mat 21:44 "And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."
Mat 21:45 When the chief priests and the Pharisees heard His parables, they understood that He was speaking about them.
Mat 21:46 When they sought to seize Him, they feared the people, because they considered Him to be a prophet.
