Get To Where You Are Going

The quickest way to get from point A to point B is to go in a straight line. But that is almost never possible. Case in point; while traveling recently I thought taking the plane was the fastest way to get to where I wanted to be. After all, don’t they go in a straight line?

Well, not really. First you have to get in a car or truck and drive to the airport. And you have to get to the airport two hours early. In doing this you will realize that even as you start out, you will be following the ‘long and winding road’.  You either have to park the vehicle and walk for a couple of miles to get to the first stop in the airport or you get dropped off. Do you have your ticket? You could forgo getting one at the counter because most have their own ticket on the phone or printed on paper.

Then you head off to the line that snakes around the foyer of the airport and they call it ‘security check’. You might even think you are finally there. But no, you now have to get in line to get on the airplane, and then the plane gets in line to get on the runway.

Once you land, you are so glad to be where you are going you don’t realize you stand and wait for your luggage, get into another car and then, yes then you are where you want to be.

Our lives are just like all that you have just read. There are detours and road blocks there are cancelled flights and bad weather or mechanical problems. It’s all part of getting to our final destination. I’m here today to let you know heaven is a real place. For us who have made a decision for Christ we know He is the Way… In our life there is only one quick and easy way to heaven. Yes, the fastest and only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ.

Are you prepared to follow Him?
