Today the news is that President Obama finally showed the world his birth Certificate. I am one of those people, who would like every presidential contender to have to prove his eligability to hold the office they seek.
But this got me thinking about citizenship. I have a birth Certificate, that says I was born in San Diego California Feb 17, 1957 To Pearl D, and Donald A Calvin. I don't remember how much I weiged, and I don't remember the actual time, but I know I was born.
It seem silly to have to prove you were born, I mean the fact that your alive should be enough, but I understand it's not about you being born, but about where you were born.
I have this Birth Certificite but I am not a citizen of the United States as more of a citizen of heavan. When I die, I will have a death certificite, which proves I died. I don't see the reason to prove that I died, just look at me, I won't be around. But I understand the Certificate is for insurance purposes.....
Whats my point? President Obama is either a citizen of the United States and there by eligable for the office he currently holds or he is not. Being a citizen is important, if your a citizen of the US, it comes with prilidges like you can run for president. But when I die, I don't think I am going to worry about that.
I have a new world that I will enter because I am a citizen of the Heavanly. When I asked Jesus Christ to come into my heart, I began my new citizenship. There is no certificiate, there is just a "knowing". when I get there, there will be no question as to the legality of my citizenship. I will be ushered into the pressence of Jesus Christ himself. There will be no questions in the papers as to the place of my birth. Jesus will say, yes I know him, let him in.
I will trade that any day over my citizenship here in the good ole US of A.
Make sure your citizenship is not in question, ask Jesus to enter your heart and forgive your sins. Then He will "know" you too. Heaven : it's a terrible place to miss.
