goldfish jumping out of its bowl into a riverJesus tells us that not everyone who says, “Lord, Lord…” will enter the Kingdom of Heaven. He tells the people He doesn’t know, “Depart from me…”

How do we know we won’t hear those words of His when we die? We want to hear Jesus say, “I know you. Come on in and join the Church Triumphant.”

We need to be working on our relationship with God here and now. We are pilgrims passing through and heaven is our home, our final destination. We better live here like we’re getting ready for it.

Fr. Rick Thomas compares our condition to a goldfish living in a small bowl compared to swimming in a beautiful stream.

Scriptures:

2 Timothy 2:11-12
Matthew 7:21-23
Romans 8:18
1 Corinthians 2:9
