Ready to go ?

They recognized that they were strangers and travelers on the earth. Hebrews 11.13

Going on a trip today requires a lot of preparation. Questions buzz in your head : “Did I fill out the right forms ? Are the suitcases too heavy ?"

The Bible reminds us that we are travelers on this earth. Our life is a permanent preparation for the inevitable departure and there are no return tickets. Only, as with any trip, you have to plan ahead rather than relying on lastminute.com ; we could be allocated a ticket for the wrong destination !

To be sure of reaching God, there is no need to accumulate suitcases filled with good works and religiosity. Only the passport issued by the King of the country of destination, Jesus Christ, proves your eligibility as a citizen and the right to cross the border.

How to receive this precious pass ? By asking him ! Recognize that Jesus is not only King but also the way we pass to cross that same border. You will receive the passport stamped by the highest authority to hear on arrival : “Welcome home. Come share in the joy of your master” (Matthew 25:23).
