Flying with Thursday's Word by Brenda Smith

Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in Me, even if he dies, will live. Everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die—ever.”

John 11:25-26   “Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” .


Where are you going when you die? You can go where Jesus went. Where is He? He is in a place called Heaven.

A FRIEND OF THE SON………………

A father took his son to a carnival one time for his birthday. The son asked six of his friends to go along. The father bought a whole roll of tickets for the seven boys. Each time the boys would get to a ride, the father would pull out seven tickets so all the boys to ride. They went through several rides until they came to the Ferris Wheel. The father took out seven tickets and handed them to the boys but he seemed to be one short. When he did a head count the father found that there were eight boys instead of seven. He asked the eighth boy, "Who are you?" The boy said, “I am Joe. I’m your son’s new friend. We just met today and he said that you would give me a ticket.” Did Joe get a ticket – absolutely! Any friend of the son will be taken care of by the father.

Let us pray.

“Father you have told us that there is only one way that we can get to heaven and that is by having a relationship with your son Jesus. I pray that we all would come to Jesus – ask for forgiveness – and believe in the power that raised Him from the grave. May our sins be forgiven, may we have a purpose for living and may we have a home in Heaven. Amen.”
