Christ in Paradise

Characteristically, Jesus chose to depict a sacrilegeous foreigner rather than priests as the good neighbor. And when Christ arrived in paradise, he was in the company of a murderer.

I always wonder when we are sitting in Sunday School deciding who will or will not go to the Celestial Kingdom if anyone remembers Jesus and His bad associates.
