We have all seen the many trains of this world. Fast, slow, big, small, some to close to call, but have you ever thought "What train am I on and what is it's destination?" Or maybe even having no idea you had a specific train with your name on it. Well I am here to tell you, YES you have one...it is called Life.
When you have reached a certain stop and the conductor tells you this is your stop and he opens the door and you step out, where will you be?
What a question huh? Unfortunately, many of us are so caught up in how nice we can make the train. Make the bed more comfortable. The food as tasty as possible. Coffee, oh yes the coffee. In Luke 12, Jesus shows us just how foolish this way of thinking really is. He told a story of a man who had a great harvest, but he didn't have the space in his barns to hold it all. So what did he do, he built bigger barns and thought, now I have solved the problem. Telling himself he could rest easy for the remainder of his days. But, God interrupts the celebration and says "You Fool! You will die this very night, then who will get everything you worked for?" Jesus follows up by saying "Yes, a person is a fool to store up earthly wealth but not have a rich relationship with God."
Even if your train is made of all the luxuries, it’s worthless if the destination is Hell. You would be better off in a train made of trashcans that gets you to Heaven. So how do you make sure your train is heading to the right place? FAITH in Jesus. It is the ticket to board a Heaven-Bound train.
The choice is yours.
