Recently we learned about thousands of would-be passengers who were waiting to board Southwest Airlines flights. No pilots were available to take them to their desired destination.
[These present-day parables are simply writing themselves these days]
All of a sudden, hundreds of Southwest flights were cancelled on the same day. Some say it was a sick-out over the Covid-19 mandates forced on pilots and flight crews. Sadly, it's simply just another sign of the times.
This story is not really about vaccines or Covid -19. Zoom out and look at the bigger picture. Thousands of people, expecting to go somewhere, were denied the possibility to do so. Sound familiar?
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats." - Matthew 25:31-32
Look at that! Thousands (millions) of people waiting to go some place.
“Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world." - Matthew 25:34
Everyone is expecting to get into heaven when they die. It's automatic, right? Wrong. Not everyone will be allowed to enter. Jesus Himself has said so.
‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ - Matthew 25:41-43
Are you sure that you have a ticket to get into heaven? Are you SURE??? Jesus is the pilot for your flight. If you have allowed Jesus to guide your life, if you have repented and sought His forgiveness for your sins, if you have repented and He has changed your heart, then you won't have to wait in line long.
There are many false Christ's in the world today. Most are man-made. That take the original Jesus and tweak Him to their own liking. Then they worship their false god. It's not Jesus. The TRUE Jesus. Those idol worshippers will be standing in line one day, just like the passengers for those Southwest Airlines flights. And they will be denied entry into heaven.
Please, verify your ticket! Does it say, "The One True God" on it? Read the Bible! That is where you will find who He is. Then talk to the pilot - "the author and finisher of your faith." Pledge your allegiance to Him today. Then enjoy your flight!
