Paradise ain't cheap...it's free

Michelle saw this at Bed, Bath & Beyond last week and told me I should write a blog post about it. So I'm happy to oblige today.

Yes, the makers of this...whatever the heck this thing is...probably didn't have any important theological truths in mind when they made this, but they've got it just right. Paradise ain't cheap. It cost the Son of God His life to redeem God's broken creation from its bondage to decay.

But entrance into Paradise is free:

"Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price." (Isaiah 55:1-2)

Fullness of joy and pleasures forevermore at God's right hand are available to all without money. Through faith in Christ and His atoning death and resurrection, we are eternally rich, and heirs of paradise.
