Look Up!

October 2

Though there are countless worldviews that expound their ideas of how heaven is to be attained, there is only One who came from heaven and gave us the roadmap to get there. That One is Jesus.

The exclusivity of His plan is offensive to some people. They cannot accept the idea that other directions to heaven will not lead to heaven. These are the very people who, if they boarded a plane for a certain city would fully expect that the proper coordinates would be followed to arrive there.

Those who have seen the light of this truth fully grasp the reality that, “There is no other name given under heaven whereby men might be saved,” Acts 4:12. The man who has caught a vision of his own depravity and his own need for a Savior has no trouble receiving the sinless Christ who shed His blood to wash man clean of sin.

And from the moment he sees and receives, that man realizes that he is no longer a citizen of this corrupt world. No! The citizenship of the believer in Jesus is now, “…in heaven and we eagerly await our Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,” Philippians 3:20. We “Look up…” knowing our redemption draws near (Luke 21:28).
