The Bible is a story of redemption, God activated this plan from the garden of Eden. His Son Jesus was the Value of the REDEMPTION. He came to take our place, died for our sins, took our shame, burdens, sorrows . REDEMPTION Was priceless and that's why God only gave His own son.
In this case Christ took the place of a notorious thief who was meant to die, and this thief is a true replica of us.
Christ REDEEMED US.
