My wife just made airplane reser-vations for us to fly to our vacation desti-nation this summer. We received five pages of information and instructions about how and what to pack, what to do, when and where to be, the possibility of schedule changes, etc., etc., etc. And then we have to find someone to take us to the airport.
Next we have to make arrange-ments [which will provide us with more pages of instructions and warnings] for a rental car.
Of course, then come the motel bookings, trying to use our points to get a couple of free nights. [More paper work.]
And all this in order to spend one week in a beautiful part of our country which we have never seen before.
And by the way, airplane, car, motels, activities, etc., will be costing us a substantial amount of money.

What a contrast, when it comes to making arrangements for our trip to heaven for a lot more than a week—rather for eternity!
Transportation will be arranged for us and provided free of charge by the Divine Rapture Company! And we will be picked up wherever we happen to be at the time!
This heavenly trip will occur at the best possible time for us, known to our God, Who knows the end from the beginning.
The accommodations will truly be “out of this world” and all that the Creator of the Universe can make them.
And finally, there will be no re-turn to this world with all of its faults, failings, and funerals.

Why are my wife and I eligible for this heavenly trip? Simply because we accepted the free offer ofeternal life, paid for and provided by the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. All He asks of us is to recognize our unworthiness to be in heaven at all, to confess it to Him, to plead for His mercy and grace to be applied to our account, and He will accept us into His family, be with us now, and then conduct us to heaven when our time on this earth is finished.
And by the way, the trip will only take the blink of an eye!

How about you? Have you accepted Christ’s free offer of freedom from the penalty of your sin and of His guarantee of an eternity in heaven with Him? If not, why not?
Notice the following supporting evidence from Christ’s travel guidebook, the Bible:
Romans 6:23b – ...The gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
John 10:10b – “I have come that they might have life and that they might have it more abundantly.”
1 Peter 1:3-5 - Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In His great mercy He has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time.
