Ali Baba, in an old Arabian Nights tale, was fleeing for his life. Suddenly he was face to face with a dead end. Enormous rock walls rose before him and on either side, until there seemed to be no escape. His enemies were closing in from behind. But Ali Baba shouted two secret words, “Open Sesame.” As if by magic, giant rock doors swung open before him. He rode through to safety and riches.

One day, life will come to an end for us all. However, many people often mistake Heaven for being as easy to get to as repeating some magical hocus pocus type words such as “Open Sesame.” The problem with that sentiment is it implies lifestyle and choice does not play a part in our entrance into Heaven. Reality is, Heaven IS easily obtainable, yet it COST Jesus His life. As a result of His life being given, Heaven’s doors were opened to all who would confess Jesus as Lord and Savior. There is no other way, no back door, no other gods, no hocus pocus, and no open sesame. So make sure your spot in Heaven is secure by inviting Jesus to be your Savior.

“And it shall come to pass that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.” Acts 4:12
