Paradise

Jesus answered him, "I tell you the truth, today you will be with me in paradise."

I was caught up to paradise and heard things so astounding that they cannot be expressed in words, things no human is allowed to tell.

You've forced me to talk this way, and I do it against my better judgment. But now that we're at it, I may as well bring up the matter of visions and revelations that God gave me. For instance, I know a man who, fourteen years ago, was seized by Christ and swept in ecstasy to the heights of heaven. I really don't know if this took place in the body or out of it; only God knows. I also know that this man was hijacked into paradise—again, whether in or out of the body, I don't know; God knows. There he heard the unspeakable spoken, but was forbidden to tell what he heard. This is the man I want to talk about. But about myself, I'm not saying another word…

He forgives your sins—every one. He heals your diseases—every one. He redeems you from hell—saves your life! He crowns you with love and mercy—a paradise crown. He wraps you in goodness—beauty eternal. He renews your youth—you're always young in his presence.

To everyone who is victorious I will give fruit from the tree of life in the paradise of God.

Luke 23:43 2 Corinthians 12:4 2 Corinthians 12:1 Psalm 103:3 Revelation 2:7

Our greatest privilege is to enjoy Christ’s presence.
