One day not long after my mother was taken home to heaven to be with the Lord Jesus, my granddaughter, Chantel, was busy packing her suitcase as if she were going on a trip. Chantel is only six years old.
After packing her suitcase, she picked up the leash for Lassie and went outside. She brought Lassie inside on the leash, then picked up her suitcase, and the two started out the door.
Her mother said to her, “Chantel, just where do you think you are going with that suitcase and Lassie?”
Chantel answered, “Me and Lassie are going to heaven to see Great Gramma. We miss her, you know.”
So Chantel’s mother sat down with her and explained to her that you just can’t walk to heaven. Chantel knows where her Great Gramma is. You see, Great Gramma knew the Lord Jesus as her very own Savior, and when she died, she went to live with Him in heaven.
Do you know anyone in heaven? Heaven is a very beautiful place. The Lord Jesus said in John 14:22In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. (John 14:2), “In My Father’s house are many mansions.” If you die, will you go to heaven? You will if you are saved from your sins. But if you are still in your sins, you will go to the terrible place called hell, “where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched [put out]” (Mark 9:4444Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched. (Mark 9:44)).
Great Gramma accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as her Savior many years ago, and He washed all her sins away in His precious blood. “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin” (1 John 1:77But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin. (1 John 1:7)).
Are your daddy and mommy going to heaven? Will you be with them in heaven? Why not accept the Lord Jesus as your very own Savior right now and know for sure that someday you also will be in heaven?
