THE ROAD THAT LEADS TO
PARADISE
Luk 23:39 And one of the malefactors
which were hanged railed on him, saying,
If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.
Luk 23:40 But the other answering
rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear
God, seeing thou art in the same
condemnation?
Luk 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we
receive the due reward of our deeds: but this
man hath done nothing amiss.
Luk 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord,
remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom.
Luk 23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I
say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in
paradise.
2Co 12:1 It is not expedient for me doubtless
to glory. I will come to visions and revelations
of the Lord.
Co 12:2 I knew a man in Christ above fourteen
years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell;
or whether out of the body, I cannot tell: God
knoweth;) such an one caught up to the third
heaven.
2Co 12:3 And I knew such a man,
(whether in the body, or out of the body, I
cannot tell: God knoweth;)
2Co_12:4 How that he was caught up into
paradise, and heard unspeakable words,
which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
To the Church at Ephesus
Rev_2:7 He that hath an ear, let him hear
what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To
him that overcometh will I give to eat of
the tree of life, which is in the midst of
the paradise of God.
Rev 22:1 And he shewed me a pure river of
water of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of
the throne of God and of the Lamb.
Rev 22:2 In the midst of the street of it, and on
either side of the river, was there the tree of life,
which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded
her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree
were for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more
curse: but the throne of God and of the
Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall
serve him:
Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and
his name shall be in their foreheads.
Rev 21:1 And I saw a new
heaven and a new earth: for the
first heaven and the first earth
were passed away; and there was
no more sea.
Rev 21:2 And I John saw the holy city,
new Jerusalem, coming down from God
out of heaven, prepared as a bride
adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out
of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle
of God is with men, and he will dwell
with them, and they shall be his people,
and God himself shall be with them, and
be their God.
Rev 21:4 And God shall wipe away all
tears from their eyes; and there shall be
no more death, neither sorrow, nor
crying, neither shall there be any more
pain: for the former things are passed
away.
Rev 21:5 And he that sat upon the
throne said, Behold, I make all things
new. And he said unto me, Write: for
these words are true and faithful.
I. One Man Excluded the Road
Luk 23:39 And one of the
malefactors which were hanged railed
on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save
thyself and us.
II. One Man Embraced the Road
Mar 15:29 And they that passed by railed
on him, wagging their heads, and saying,
Ah, thou that destroyest the temple, and
buildest it in three days,
Mar 15:30 Save thyself, and come down
from the cross.
Mar 15:31 Likewise also the chief priests
mocking said among themselves with the
scribes, He saved others; himself he cannot
save.
Mar 15:32 Let Christ the King of Israel
descend now from the cross, that we may see
and believe. And they that were crucified with
him reviled him.
He Embraced the Road
Luk 23:41 And we indeed justly; for we
receive the due reward of our deeds: but
this man hath done nothing amiss.
Luk 23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord,
remember me when thou comest into thy
kingdom.
III. One Man Established the Road
Luk 23:43 And Jesus said unto him,
Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou
be with me in paradise.
Col 1:19 For it pleased the Father that in
him should all fulness dwell;
Col 1:20 And, having made peace through the
blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things
unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be
things in earth, or things in heaven.
Col 1:21 And you, that were sometime
alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked
works, yet now hath he reconciled
Col 1:22 In the body of his flesh through death,
to present you holy and unblameable and
unreproveable in his sight:
Col 1:23 If ye continue in the faith grounded
and settled, and be not moved away from the
hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and
which was preached to every creature which is
under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a
minister;
