GOSPEL NUGGET #603

Bantayan Island Jaunt

Going to salvation land is pretty much like going to Bantayan Island. Carmelle booked us at Anika Resort but enjoying the island and the resort can only be ours if we appropriate the island and the resort for ourselves.

In the same way, the Lord Jesus "booked" us, so to speak, at Salvation Island and Resort, when He paid for it at the cross of Calvary. But having it and enjoying it can only be ours if we appropriate salvation for ourselves.

And the beautiful place of Salvation Island and Resort is just a faith away. 

GOSPEL NUGGET #602

Every day in our kitchen an illustration of salvation takes place. Cooking is a stranger to me, so my wife does all the cooking. Yeah, she does all the hard work in the kitchen (afterward, though, as agreed, I do all the washing of the dishes). When all is done, I just go over there and enjoy a hearty meal.

That's a picture of salvation. Christ did all the "cooking" at Calvary, and, when all is done, we, as needy sinners, made to hunger for salvation by the conviction of the Holy Spirit, are free to sit down, and, by faith, enjoy a good serving of salvation which He prepared.

He cooked; we eat and enjoy.
