This chapter #3 is comprised of 90 questions and answers.

  	    What did Jesus mean when he said to the dying thief,
  	"To-day shalt thou be with me in paradise"? 

12	    Paradisaical rest from physical agony would come to
  	the criminal, if the dream of dying should startle him
  	from the dream of suffering. The paradise of Spirit
15	would come to Jesus, in a spiritual sense of Life and
  	power. Christ Jesus lived and reappeared. He was too
  	good to die; for goodness is immortal. The thief was
18	not equal to the demands of the hour; but sin was de-
  	stroying itself, and had already begun to die, — as
  	the poor thief's prayer for help indicated. The dy-
21	ing malefactor and our Lord were inevitably sepa-
  	rated through Mind. The thief's body, as matter,
  	must dissolve into its native nothingness; whereas the
24	body of the holy Spirit of Jesus was eternal. That
  	day the thief would be with Jesus only in a finite
  	and material sense of relief; while our Lord would
27	soon be rising to the supremacy of Spirit, working
  	out, even in the silent tomb, those wonderful demon-
  	strations of divine power, in which none could equal his
30	glory.
