Till 25

by Bruce Wadd  

 

Recently my daughter’s friend received some sad news, with a really positive twist to it.  His grandfather had died, unknown to him, and had bequeathed him 'a fortune' in a trust fund.  The only limitation was that it was not to be touched till he was twenty-five, held for safe keeping from youthful fantasies!

 

In reality he has received the money, but he has to wait for total fulfilment of this dream, which can be particularly frustrating for a young person that wants and needs so much!

 

How similar is that to your new experience as a Christian!  Since the day of your rebirth in Jesus, you have become part of God’s family.  Having joined the only eternal family, your inheritance is being stored in heaven awaiting your arrival. 

 

Yes, it’s there, but now the only way to access this gift is through Jesus Christ.

 

“And God has reserved for his children the priceless gift

of eternal life; it is kept in heaven for you, pure and undefiled, beyond the reach of change and decay.” 

1 Peter 1:4

 

TODAY, believe… and receive God’s eternal gift of life!
