My grandparents had me stay at their house for a week. At the end of the week they gave me a special treat. They took me on a ferryboat ride, and then we ate lunch at an A & W and afterwards came back on the ferryboat.
When we bought our tickets for the ferryboat that morning, we put the tickets in the little slot and went through the gate to wait in line. Another family of children, eager to get on the ferryboat, was right by the doors, waiting for the red light above the doors to turn green. The older children kept telling the younger children to “keep looking up, keep looking up.” They wanted them to keep watching that red light, because as soon as it turned green, all of us could get on the ferryboat.
Are you ready to go up to heaven when the Lord Jesus comes? Are you “looking up” for His coming? You’re never too young to be saved from your sins so you can be one of those who keep looking up. Do you know the verse, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me” (John 14:66Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6))?
Do you know what that means? If you accept Jesus as your Saviour and have your sins washed away, you will also be among those who are waiting and keep looking up, expecting Him to come any minute. “Watch therefore; for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of Man cometh” (Matthew 25:1313Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. (Matthew 25:13)).
