Gestus represents the voice most people recognize in themselves.

Gestus hung beside Jesus and suffered the same pain. He saw the same Savior. He heard the same words. Yet his heart stayed closed. He mocked instead of repenting. He demanded relief instead of mercy. He spoke bitterness instead of faith.

You see yourself in Gestus more than you want to admit. You complain when life hurts. You blame God when prayers feel unanswered. You focus on what you lost instead of Who stands beside you. You want the pain to stop but resist the change God offers.

Gestus proves proximity to truth does not equal surrender to truth. He was close enough to be saved yet chose pride. He wanted deliverance without repentance. He wanted comfort without trust.

Gestus stands for every moment you grumble instead of believe. Every time you harden your heart when grace is near. Every time you choose anger over humility.

His story warns you plainly. Pain alone does not save. Suffering alone does not soften the heart. A choice does.

Between Gestus and Dismas stands Jesus. One mocked Him. One trusted Him. Both suffered. Only one went home redeemed.

The question remains the same for you. Which voice will you follow.

Jesus is the offering humanity could never become.

Between Gestus and Dismas hangs Jesus, not as a third criminal, but as the sacrifice. Scripture makes this clear. You are never the offering for your sin. You are only ever one of two responses to the offering God provides. You stand as Gestus or you kneel as Dismas. You never stand in the middle.

Jesus did not die as an example alone. He died as substitution. Isaiah said it plainly. The Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all. Paul confirms it. He who knew no sin became sin for us. The cross was not shared responsibility. It was singular obedience.

Gestus shows rebellion. Dismas shows repentance. Jesus shows redemption. One mocks grace. One receives grace. Jesus supplies grace.

This is the good news. Salvation is not layered. It is not earned. It is not gray. Scripture presents it as light and darkness, life and death, belief and rejection. The cross forces clarity. You cannot negotiate your way out of sin. You cannot suffer your way into righteousness. Only Jesus stands as the acceptable offering.

Because Jesus chose to die for you, you are now free to choose to live for Him. His obedience opened the door. Your response decides whether you walk through it.

GOD has been there the whole time.
Gestus. Offering. Dismas.

CHOICES means Christ Hung On an Individual Cross for Everyone’s Sin.

Three crosses. Two responses. One Savior.

Dismas represents the moment a heart finally tells the truth.

Dismas suffered the same cross. He carried the same guilt. He faced the same death. Yet he chose humility instead of pride. He owned his wrong. He defended Jesus when others mocked. He asked for mercy with nothing left to offer.

You see yourself in Dismas when you stop pretending. When excuses fall away. When you admit you need grace more than answers. He did not ask for rescue from pain. He asked for remembrance. He trusted Jesus even when everything looked lost.

Dismas shows you repentance is not about time. It is about direction. One honest turn of the heart changed his eternity. He believed when belief looked unreasonable. He hoped when hope seemed late.

Dismas proves no life sits beyond redemption. No failure outruns mercy. No moment arrives too late for grace.

Between Gestus and Dismas stands Jesus. One demanded relief. One trusted love. Both suffered. One chose life.

The question meets you here. Not who you were. Not what you did. Who will you trust now.
