Ticket To Eternity

I live beneath a flight pattern where planes constantly arrive and depart from Dallas. All day long, aircraft of every kind pass overhead: private planes, commercial airliners, and military planes, each traveling at different altitudes, each headed to a specific destination. We call it a destination, but in truth, it is only the next stop. It is just one step closer to where our journey leads.

Flying can be convenient, yet it is rarely comfortable. Lines are long, space is limited, and the person beside us is not always pleasant. We endure turbulence, delays, and layovers. Every traveler knows that getting there is not always easy.

Scripture speaks of a day when believers will take a different kind of flight, one far greater than any airplane can offer. It will not begin on a runway, nor require a passport or boarding pass. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 describes it this way: “For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven… and we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together.
