Henry V111. [ Luke 23 v 39-43 ]

One of England's most famous kings,was Henry the 8TH,he is remembered
because of how he treated his six wives,there is a way to help you to remember what their fate was ,which goes,''Divorced,beheaded, died,divorced, beheaded, survived.''He was not a man to be crossed,the nearer one got to him the more dangerous it was, as Thomas Cromwell, found out,when he fell out of favour with Henry,and was executed.  Henry was a religious person,but his treatment of his wives,would throw doubt as to whither he knew the Lord.It was recorded that when he was dying,he sent for the Archbishop Cranmer.When the Archbishop arrived,Henry was beyond speaking,so he asked the king to give some sign,either with his eyes or his hand,that he trusted in the Lord,the king managed to press Cranmer's hand. Did that mean he repented,did that mean he sought forgiveness? ,we cannot tell,we leave the final outcome with God.What I do know is this ,no matter how wicked a person has been,they can be forgiven, even if its at the point of death .The greatest example of that is the dying thief we read of in Luke 23 v 39-43 .
                            
                                 Between the stirrup
                                  and the ground,
                                 I mercy sought,
                                   and mercy found.
