"Today you will be with me in paradise"
Luke 23:39-43
39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: "Aren't you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!"
40 But the other criminal rebuked him. "Don't you fear God," he said, "since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong."
42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
43 Jesus answered him, "Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise."
While walking around the city of Trier in southern Germany, a city with a great deal of Roman history, we came across a high stone wall that surrounded an old garden cemetery.
