A Safe Landing
“And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! for
then would I fly away, and be at rest” (Psalm 55:6).
I have a friend who is a true evangelist. He never seems to miss an opportunity to give out gospel tracts and to speak to souls regarding their need of salvation. One day he was giving out gospel literature in the airport, and in doing so he gave one to a man in uniform thinking he was a flight attendant. He came to find out the man was the pilot of the plane my friend was about to board. My friend said to him, “I hope you are ready to have a safe landing in the next world.” With a big smile the pilot replied that he did indeed know the Lord Jesus as His Saviour and was ready for eternity through the work of Calvary and the blood of Christ.
For those who are saved, we are soon going to “fly away, and be at rest” in the Father’s house. What a wonderful, one-way flight that will be, with no delays and a safe, joyful landing with all the redeemed, and the Lord as the Lamb in the midst of it all. Are you ready for this flight? Have you secured your ticket to heaven through the blood of Christ?
