Good morning,

Good News for Pilgrims!
(Don Fortner)
Here is good news for weary, heavy-hearted pilgrims from our homeland in Heaven. Do you have heartaches and troubles too numerous to count? It will do you good to receive some good news from home.
The Lord our God is still on His throne.
Our Savior is still in Heaven, preparing a place for you, representing you, interceding for you.
There are many in Heaven just like you and me already. There is . . .
a fallen David there,
a doubting Thomas there,
an angry Moses there,
a feeble Philip there,
an impetuous Peter there,
and a righteous Lot there.
All are there by grace alone, through the merits of Christ’s blood and righteousness.
And, soon, the Lord Jesus Christ will come again to take you there!
John 14:1-3, “Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In 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. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.”

Rejoice that soon we will be in the presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What a glorious day that will be.
Are you ready?
“As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.” (Romans 3:10-11)
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” (Romans 3:23)
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:9Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
“But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:” (John 1:12)
The good news of the gospel is this:
“For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: 6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. 7 After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. 8 And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.” (1 Corinthians 15:3-8)
Accept Jesus Christ by faith today!
