"You Will Be With Me in Paradise"

 As a Jew, the repentant criminal would have known about Adam and Eve and the Paradise which Jehovah had placed them. So the criminal could well have realized that the Paradise  that Jesus mentioned would a beautiful garden on earth - Read GENESIS 32:15. 

Jesus' words to the criminal should move us to think what life in Paradise will be like. Actually, we can learn something about  Paradise from the  peaceful rule of Solomon.  And we can expect that Jesus, the one greater than Solomon, will work along with his co-rulers to bring  wonderful conditions to the earth.  (Matthew 12:42) Understandably, the "other sheep"  should be interested in what they need to do to qualify to live forever in Paradise. - JOHN 10:16.
