DID YOU KNOW?
A COMMA CHANGES EVERYTHING.

Did the thief on the cross next to Jesus go to Heaven the day he died?

Many believe Jesus promised:
"Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." — Luke 23:43

But there is a problem.
On Sunday morning, three days later, Jesus told Mary:
“I am not yet ascended to my Father.” — John 20:17

If Jesus wasn't in Heaven on Friday or Saturday, the thief wasn't either. They were both resting in the grave.

The Truth is in the Timing.
The original Greek had no commas. Moving it by just one word restores the harmony of the Bible:

"Verily I say unto thee today, shalt thou be with me in paradise."

Jesus wasn't telling the thief when they would be in Paradise. He was giving a promise of a future resurrection RIGHT THEN—on that dark, "Today" of the crucifixion.

The thief didn't go to heaven that Friday. He fell asleep in hope, awaiting the "last trump."

The promise is sure. The resurrection is coming.
Are you resting in that hope?
