In January, 2008 I hear that we all will need passports when we cross the USA border. Life is changing. How many years have we just been able to drive across from country to country with little or no real checks going on?
Our passport is going to become critical to our movement in the world. Without a passport you won't be leaving this country. This compares well to the spiritual world. Without a "Passport" we will not be leaving this planet either to go to a home far away.
2 Corinthians 5:20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
An Ambassador was someone who belonged to another country but was sent by the leadership of that land to connect with the other land. They represented their country to the other country. They had to have a passport which stated their true country of origin.
Christian, our "Passport" is Christ. We are "in Christ". He has sent us on mission to this planet called earth. We are not part of this world but are in this world. We do not speak our own message but instead the message of our King. This message is clear, "That all the world should repent and turn from their ways of vanity and empty search for meaning, turn to Him alone as King, Saviour and Lord of all." We come with good news, that God has made a way for us to come into relationship with Him. His "Passport" is the death and resurrection of His only Son.
Christian, are we carrying our Passports with us? Are we telling others that they need to get their Passport before it's too late? The day is coming when all will come to an end, are we ready?
Even so, come Lord Jesus, come!
