Your Reserved Seat

~~~ 1 Peter 1:3-9 ~~~ Psalm 111 ~~~ Mark 10:17-27 ~~~

“For men it is impossible, but not for God.

All things are possible for God.”

Every day we face our personal struggle
 with getting to heaven.
We are no longer children yet
 Jesus says we must be like little children.

We are attached to our material world
yet Jesus says we must go sell all that we
 have if we want to get into heaven.

It seems that the minimum we must
do to get into heaven is keep the commandments.

When I get into heaven I want to have a good seat.
I don't want to sit in the nose bleed section...
I don't want to be in the back seat.

Jesus gave us the inspiration to try harder to be better...
He gave us new birth, a living hope...

Jesus gave us an...

...inheritance that is imperishable, 
undefiled, and unfading... 

The covenant we have with Jesus
insures that if we are moving in his direction
no matter how long it takes he will be there for us.

All things are possible for God.

When you are on your death bed...when you are
 contemplating your own death...
I hope you remember to take the leap
into the arms of the Lord.

All things are possible for God.

He will catch you and carry you across the finish line.
He will usher you to your reserved seat in heaven.

On the road...
The Lord will remember his 
covenant for ever.

Although we have not seen God
we believe that he is ever near to us...
we love him for all he has
 done for us...
all that he does for us each day.

Do your best and God will do the rest.

~~~ Blessings ~ Peace ~~~
