Almost everyone believes in Heaven, but when asked why they expect to go there, the reply most often given is, "I'm a pretty good person." Which brings up a question.

Why did Jesus do all He did and die on a cross if being a pretty good person will get you to Heaven? If that does it, Jesus went to a lot of trouble for nothing.

Evidently, God thinks mankind is a lot of trouble. And that pretty good is not good enough. It's clear He went to great lengths to provide a Savior for us.

God in Heaven provided Jesus Christ as the only Savior for humanity. No matter how well-intentioned all those other religions may be, the Bible presents the Man of Galilee as the only Redeemer for Earth. Jesus Himself said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except by me." (John 14:6)

We buried 87-year-old Sybil Boudreaux last week. I told the congregation she loved everything about Heaven and will be right at home. She loved the Lord Jesus, and He is the Centerpiece. She loved serving and worshiping Him and that seems to be the agenda there. She loved the people of God and they make up the population. One of her sisters said later, "You forgot the food in Heaven. Sybil loved to eat!" Good point. If you love to eat, don't miss Heaven!
