“Just to go across the river with you is all the honor I need” (2 Samuel 19:36 NLT).
We think we need a lot of things in life, don’t we? We feel the need to be surrounded by our stuff. We build bigger garages, reorganize closets, purchase portable storage buildings and rent units uptown in order to safely keep all the things we’ve collected—the things we need.
But as we slip into eternity, as our last breath is drawn and our choice of Heaven or hell is rewarded to us, we find Jesus is all we need.
We need His blood covering us as we stand before the Almighty God.
We need His reference to our acceptance of His salvation as we enter the throne room of God’s judgment.
We need His guarantee that our names are in the Book of Life as we pass through gates of pearl.
We need His hand, His strong hand, to guide us across the river of life and into our Promised Land.
In the end, He is all we need.
