This Costa Rican coffee is named "Paradise" after its origin. When we think of Costa Rica, we think of tropical lush greenery by a glistening ocean. The coffee is expected to be as perfect as the environment here. It is illegal to produce anything other than Arabica beans here, which is the most premium quality coffee. Thankfully Jesus doesn't require this level of perfection to accept us. In this verse, Jesus was speaking to the criminal hanging next to him on the cross. In this man's last moments, he asked for forgiveness. Despite the circumstances, Jesus extended him grace and eternal life. No matter how bad you think you have been, Jesus does forgive, and will extend you this same invitation to true paradise. All you have to do is come unto Him.
