April 15th - Ship of life

Of what value was a ticket on the Titanic?

Such is how I feel about life under any government run by humans. All eventually run into the iceberg. My hope is in another Captain on a ship not run by humanity - and I know it is first class all the way...

...he free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

Eternal life beyond the Titanic is assured to humanity because God loves us – even the present captain and his crew running the US Titanic. Humanity all will be changed at the mysterious "last trump".

“Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I show you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So, when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory. ” (1 Corinthians 15:50-58)

Jesus, the Son of God, gave Himself as a ransom for all.  His death on the cross and resurrection will result in the salvation of all of us on the Titanic of planet Earth.

“This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who wills all humanity to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and humanity, the man Christ Jesus, who gave Himself as a ransom for ALL…” (1 Timothy 2:3-6)

"It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all humanity, especially of believers. Prescribe and teach these things.” (1 Timothy 4:9-11)

Enjoy the ride on the Titanic of planet Earth as best you can - but place your hope in the first class ticket Jesus bought for you on the USS Kingdom of God!
