It is because Jesus will be in heaven ruling as King over the Paradise on earth. Will Jesus be right here on earth with the former criminal in Paradise?- No. So when we read of that criminal being in Paradise, we should picture in our minds this earth made into a beautiful place to live. It was a wonderful place to live! - Genesis 2:8-10. And there were trees with lots of delicious fruit on them, as well as a big river. There were animals in that garden, but they didn’t hurt anyone.
Where was Paradise to begin with?- Remember, God gave the first man, Adam, and his wife a paradise to live in right here on this earth. What does Jesus mean when he says this? Where is Paradise?- Think about it.
When we read about Paradise, what should we picture in our minds? So the criminal says: “Remember me when you get into your kingdom.” Jesus answers: “Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise.” - Luke 23:42, 43. But as this criminal watches Jesus and hears what is said about Him, he begins to believe in Jesus. The man is being put to death for crimes he has committed. Let’s see where Paradise will be and what it will be like there.Ībout three hours before Jesus dies on a torture stake, he talks about Paradise to a man on a stake next to him. Jesus calls the place where they are brought back to live Paradise. Think about what a wonderful day this will be! During this thousand-year-long day, many millions of people who have died will be brought back to life. On this day, the Bible says, ‘God will judge the people of the earth.’ The ones he judges will include those who have been resurrected. Well, Martha had heard about Jesus’ promise: ‘All those in the memorial tombs will come out.’ ( John 5:28, 29) So “the last day” is when all those in God’s memory will be brought back to life. We can find comfort in the assurance that the Savior lives and that through His Atonement, “he breaketh the bands of death, that the grave shall have no victory, and that the sting of death should be swallowed up in the hopes of glory” ( Alma 22:14).Where is the Paradise that Jesus is telling the man about? Although all people will be resurrected, only those who have come unto Christ and partaken of the fulness of His gospel will inherit exaltation in the celestial kingdom.Īn understanding and testimony of the resurrection can give us hope and perspective as we experience the challenges, trials, and triumphs of life. The eternal glory we receive will depend on our faithfulness. … We shall be brought to stand before God, knowing even as we know now, and have a bright recollection of all our guilt” ( Alma 11:41, 43).
He also appeared to the Nephites after His Resurrection (see 3 Nephi 11:10–17).Īt the time of the resurrection, we will “be judged according to works. He said, “Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have” ( Luke 24:39). When the resurrected Lord appeared to His Apostles, He helped them understand that He had a body of flesh and bones. The New Testament contains several accounts testifying that He rose from the tomb (see Matthew 28:1–8 Mark 16:1–14 Luke 24:1–48 John 20:1–29 1 Corinthians 15:1–8 2 Peter 1:16–17). The Savior was the first person on this earth to be resurrected. Resurrection is the reuniting of the spirit with the body in an immortal state, no longer subject to disease or death. Through the Atonement of Jesus Christ, all people will be resurrected and saved from physical death (see 1 Corinthians 15:22). Because of the Fall of Adam and Eve, we are subject to physical death, which is the separation of the spirit from the body.
