The Crucifixion
Gospel: Luke 23:39-43
St. Dismas is a clear example that any soul with sins, even with scarlet red sins can be forgiven on the spot. St. Dismas believes in God and Jesus the Son of the living God.
More importantly St. Dismas knows that God and Jesus are one.
St. Dismas and Jesus, I AM, means not only there is a God, Jesus, the Son of God,
there is only one place to be after earth and that place is Heaven, Paradise.
Here is the Gospel: Luke 23:39-43
39 Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying, "Are you not the Messiah? Save yourself and us."
40 The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply, "Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same condemnation?
41 And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal."
42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom."
43 He replied to him, "Amen I say to you today you will be with me in Paradise."
