A man that had previously mocked Jesus, had never read the Bible, gone to church, been baptized, or done any of the other religious 'works' we often think are necessary to be right with God. However, Jesus told this man that he would be with him in paradise that day, not because of this man had done, but because of Jesus did for him.
