Conclusion of TEACH YOUR CHILDREN/What Can We Learn From a Criminal?

What do you think? Will Jesus be here on the earth with the criminal who was sorry for his sins? -No, Jesus will be in heaven ruling as King over the Paradise earth.  So Jesus will be with the criminal when he raises him from the dead and see that he is taken care of the Paradise on earth.  But why will Jesus  let a man who was a criminal live in Paradise? -Let's talk about this.

It is true that this criminal did very bad things. But so have billions of other people who have lived on earth.  Most of them, however, did bad things because they were never taught about Jehovah and what he wanted them to do.

So people like that, including the criminal Jesus spoke to on the stake,  will be resurrected to life in Paradise right here on earth. They will be taught what God's will is. Then they can prove that they love Jehovah.  

Do you know how they can prove that?

By doing what God wants them to do. How wonderful it will be then to live in Paradise and always be with people who love Jehovah and one another!
