Benjy and his dad were on their way to Sunday school. It was a beautiful sunny day, and they were enjoying their drive past the pretty golf course.
“Look at those golf carts, Benjy!” exclaimed his dad. “They are really fancy! Did you ever see golf carts with such pretty canopies over them? How would you like to have one of those for your birthday?”
“They’re really nice,” answered Benjy. “It sure would be fun to have one of those to ride around in!” Benjy didn’t say anything more for a few minutes as they drove past the golf course and the golf carts with their brightly colored tops rippling in the breeze. Then he said, “You know, Dad, the Lord Jesus has lots better presents for me in heaven than those golf carts. And it’s going to take me all eternity to unwrap them too.”
Even though Benjy was only a boy, he was already looking forward to heaven and what the Lord Jesus would have waiting for him up there. He knew the Lord Jesus was going to include him, because his sins were gone forever. He had confessed to Jesus that he was a sinner and had believed that He had died for all his sins. Now they were gone forever, and Benjy knew for sure that someday he would be in heaven.
Do you know for sure that you will be there? You can. “For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:1616For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)).
