One Way Ticket April 15, 2013

Entrepreneur Bas Lansdorp has an unusual space project. He calls it Mars One, and he is looking for people willing to travel to Mars - but it would be a one-way ticket. The space travelers would have to be willing to die on Mars, because the technology to bring them back to earth does not exist. The cost per traveler would be about a billion and a half - I pass. I prefer the offer of the Jesus. He said, in John’s gospel, “In my house are many mansions….I go to prepare a place for you…I will come again and take you to myself, that where I am there you may be also.” Oh, and by the way, there is no charge for the trip Jesus offers. It is a gift. He has promised, “… the gift of God is eternal life…” So how does one sign up for this wonderful trip to heaven? You simply ask for it. Paul explained, to a jail keeper, “Believe on the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.” And God promises that no sincere person will ever be refused.
