As a Jew the repentant criminal would have known about Adam and Eve and the Paradise in which Jehovah had placed them. So the criminal could well have realized that the Paradise that Jesus mentioned would be a beautiful garden here on earth. - Read GENESIS 2:15.
Jesus' words to the criminal should move us to think about what life in Paradise will be likke. Actually, we can learn something about Paradise from the peaceful rule of King Solomon. And we can expect that Jesus, the one greater than Solomon, will work along wiht his corulers to bring wonderful conditions to the earth. (Matthew 12:42) Understandably, the "other sheep" should be interested inwhat they need to do to qualify to live forever in Paradise. - JOHN 10:16.
Next time: "You Will Be With Me in Paradise" - WHAT WILL LIFE IN PARADISE BE LIKE?
