One of my son’s Naval assignments brought him to Pensacola, Florida. During a visit with him, we watched the Blue Angels fly out of their home base in Forrest Sherman Field. Can you imagine what it takes to become part of that wing? They have to possess physical stamina, endure training, receive necessary education and have the willingness to give up so many of life’s pleasures. Those pilots sit up there in that cockpit because they deserve it.
We will never reach heaven because we deserve it. Continuing with that thought, becoming angels is also an impossibility. However, heaven is in reach, not because of our accomplishments but because of His.
So Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for Him.
We will see heights and be involved in feats impossible for those without Christ. If you want to be part of that wing, take Christ as your Savior. Give it some careful consideration.
