In Paradise

Today is your
Special  day.
You chose
To follow Jesus
And live life
The right way.
A thief got
Saved on
The same day
Jesus died
The other thief
Died in sin
Because he
Stated to Jesus
Save yourself
And us.
Jesus couldn’t do
That he had to die.
He was sent
By His Father God.
The big guy 
In the sky.
The man in the
Middle never
Sinned died for it
And you made
The greatest choice
Of your life
It doesn’t matter
How much you 
Sinned. He died
For that paid
With his life.
This marks a
Milestone in your
Life.  Just like
He responded
To the second 
Thief from 
He saying
Remember me.
Jesus  said,
You shall be 
With me
In paradise.
In Jesus,
You’ll have
The time
Of your life.
In Paradise. 

“One of the criminals who was hanging there railed at him, saying, “Aren’t you the Christ? 
Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Don’t  you fear God, since you 
are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we rightly so, for we are getting what 
we deserve for what we did, but this man has done nothing  wrong.” Then  he said, “Jesus, 
remember me  when you come in  your kingdom.” And Jesus  said to him, “I tell you the 
truth, today  you will be with me in paradise.”  Luke 23:43
