How did you get to Heaven before Jesus

 I was thinking how awesome it would have been to be alive back when Jesus was walking the earth preforming miracles and to be able to listen to Him teach and preach. Then I started reading the Bible and was reading about all of the different offerings you had to make back before Jesus became the ultimate sacrifice for us sinners (myself chief among them). There were five main types of offerings: the burnt offering, the grain offering, the peace offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering. Each of these offerings involved certain elements, either animal or fruit of the field, and each had a specific purpose. Some of the offerings were divided into portions for God, the priests, and the offerer, while others were completely burned or consumed by fire. Accepting Jesus into your heart means you never have to worry about completing any of the sacrifices that were previously needed. It also means that you never have to worry about whether you are good enough to get into Heaven (believe me you are not) or if you have done more good than bad deeds over the course of your life (you can't). The Bible says in Isaiah 64:6 that we are all like an unclean thing, And all our righteousnesses are like filthy rags. (NKJV). What that means is that if you are not a Christian then there is nothing you can do --- No amount of good works you can perform to make it into Heaven. You need Jesus. You have to have Jesus in order to get into Heaven. John 14:6 (NKJV) 6 Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. NO ONE comes to the Father except through Me. <Emphasis is mine>. It doesn't say OK, here's what we are going to do. We are going to weigh your bad against your good and then decide if you will end up in Heaven or Hell. No. It says NO ONE comes to the Father except through Jesus. The end IS coming I pray that you turn to Jesus before it is TOO LATE.
