My recollection from Bible school is murky but this is what I recall: One thief said to Jesus "If you are the God you say you are, then why don't you save yourself and us from this misery?" The second thief said (I think) "We don't deserve to be saved I accept the punishment for what I've done. It is wrong for you to expect Jesus to save us." The first thief went to Hell but the second thief went to Heaven.
Can a Christian explain their understanding of this bible story? I could certainly be incorrect on my recounting, but this is one that has always puzzled me.
