Heaven Compared to Paradise
Scripture
KJV
And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.
ESV
And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”
Luke 23:43
Poem
There is a land of pure delight,
Where saints immortal reign;
Infinite day excludes the night,
And pleasures banish pain.
There everlasting spring abides,
And never-withering flowers:
Death, like a narrow sea, divides
This heavenly land from ours.
