THE TICKET OF LOVE

“And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;”

Revelation 5:9 KJV

One of the definitions in Webster’s Dictionary for ticket is “a certificate or token showing that a fare or admission fee has been paid”.  Jesus paid our admission fee into Heaven with His own blood.  We can’t work to get into Heaven.  We can’t buy our way into Heaven.  We’ll never be good enough to go to Heaven.

It is only by the precious blood of Jesus that He shed for us on the cross that any of us will get into Heaven.  Yes, our admission fee into Heaven is free to us but it cost Jesus everything, His life and His blood.  If you ever feel like nobody loves you, remember the cross and the blood that Jesus shed for your sins.

What a tender loving Saviour we are privileged to know and have.  O how I love Jesus.  He is the reason I’m living and the reason I get out of bed in the morning.  Have you accepted the blood bought ticket that Jesus paid for you on the cross?  If not, I urge you to open the door of your heart and let Jesus come in.

Heavenly Father, what amazing love You gave us when You sent Your beloved Son into the world to pay the penalty for our sins.  Thank You, dear Father.  Jesus, You paid the price for my sins.  I can never repay You but I can serve You.  I love You so much.  Thank You for everything.  In Jesus’ Name, I pray.  Amen.
