Suitable for the Kingdom of Heaven

Reflect on these words about the passion of the Lord Jesus:

Nobody, when he first enters his reign, takes a thief for a companion. The Messiah did just that, and did not contaminate paradise, but rather made it honored that it had such a King, who could purify thieves and prostitutes instantly so that they were suitable for the kingdom of heaven.

Peter Vermigli (1499-1562)
