An old fairy tells of a twins boys separated at birth, one was stolen from his parents and destitute in a village. Before his 13th birthday he was magically reunited with his parents, who as it turned out, were the King and Queen of the land. His parents dressed him in finest of robes and he was moved into the palace with great wealth. Well that’s a fairy tale, what about real life? Well Romans 8:16 “The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Now if we are children then we are heirs, heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ.” You are an heir of God, co-heir with Christ who is the King of Kings. Now I don’t know about the palace in the fairy tale, but God is not afraid of being wealthy. God isn’t worried that his streets are too nice, or that someone spent to much on the temple. His streets are gold. Now what if the boy in our story found out who he was, but decided to live outside the palace anyways? You see, many Christians do just this. God is calling you to enter the Kingdom of God, to inherit all that he promised. Abraham inherited the promises before he died. The promises are for you now, while you are still here, since you entered into eternity the moment you receive Christ. And as it says in Galations 3: “Christ redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to us Through Christ Jesus.” So do you need a place to stay? God has one. He’s put you in a robe of righteousness. Come on inside.
