The Answer to the Thief on the Cross

In today's study, we consider the answer to the thief on the cross.  Many commonly believe that both Jesus and the thief were in paradise on the day that Christ died.  But is that really the case?  Is that really what the thief was asking?  Is that really the answer that Jesus gave?  As we examine the testimony from the other gospels, the punctuation of the verses, and the words spoken by Jesus himself, we find the meaningful truth buried under all of the contradicting tradition.
