Paradise Lost, Paradise Gained

What is "paradise?"  Is it synonymous with "heaven?"  When man sinned and was driven out of the Garden, was paradise lost forever?   What was the central theme of the ministry of Jesus?  Did Jesus enter paradise the day he died?  What about the thief on the cross?  And what exactly is the "third heaven?"  Find out the truth from God's word today.
