Thematic Bible: Joy in Christ's presence

Jesus said to him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”

If anyone serves Me, he must [continue to faithfully] follow Me [without hesitation, holding steadfastly to Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]; and wherever I am [in heaven’s glory], there will My servant be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back again and I will take you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also.

Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given to Me [as Your gift to Me], may be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, because You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

we are [as I was saying] of good courage and confident hope, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

But I am hard-pressed between the two. I have the desire to leave [this world] and be with Christ, for that is far, far better;

Then we who are alive and remain [on the earth] will simultaneously be caught up (raptured) together with them [the resurrected ones] in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord!

Jesus said to him, “I assure you and most solemnly say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
