Ephesians series: Helmet of Salvation - Week 27

From "Have to" to "Get to."

A few months ago I spoke with a long-time member of our church. He had just been diagnosed with a terminal illness and his time on earth wasn't long. His first statement after explaining his illness was this, "It won't be long before I get to see Jesus". Get to. Those two words "get to" pierced my heart and stirred my soul. Here's a man who is about to pass from this earth and his loved ones and his perspective is I "get to". I long for that kind of hope!

Today we'll look at a piece of God's armor that can turn death from a "have to" to a "get to". It gives us victory when Satan's final weapon is brought against us.
