You’ve Got a Ticket to Ride!
Have you ever been stuck on standby for a flight? Will I have a seat or not? Will I get to the conference, loved one, or resort on time? Oh to have the confirmation and guarantee! In today’s text, Paul assures us that we actually do! Our departure in Christ (and all loved ones in Him) has already been confirmed through our belief in Jesus’ death and resurrection. Moreover, our return with Christ is booked too when He comes back to judge the living and the dead. We’ve “got a ticket to ride” and so we will always be with the Lord. Paul calls us to regularly encourage one another with these words.
