Heaven On The Updraft
What are you depending on to get you into Heaven?
Angela Blair wrote in Reader's Digest several years ago about the neighborhood she lived in. She said that most of the people there went to the same church.
When a good friend of hers bought a house and moved into the neighborhood Angela teased her a good bit about her new home: right between the pastor's house and that owned by the chairman of deacons at their church. Angela told her friend, "Now you must really walk the straight and narrow," I said.
"On the contrary," she replied. "I expect to go to heaven on the updraft."
She was just being humorous, of course. But it’s astounding how many people think they’re “going to heaven on the updraft”—someone else’s relationship to Christ. When that Great Day comes, it will not matter who lived next door to you, who your relatives were, or even if your grandfather was a Baptist preacher. If you are kind to your fellow man, go to church every Sunday, or even if you give to the poor--that won't matter either.
The only thing which will matter is what you have done with Christ.
