nnot understand or fathom that land of paradise and heaven, but Jesus Himself announced its reality. Paradise is a real, literal place, and this thief dying beside Jesus, would see that world before the day was over, as he would die on the cross. Paradise is not a figment of the imagination, but a real literal world to which the redeemed of God enter in. We cannot know how far away it is, but this we know, when we close our eyes on this side of eternity, we awaken to a world of splendor, glory and majesty, all because we are redeemed by the blood of Christ. Oh what a Savior!!!
