Paris Hilton who is famous in Japan and other countries was refused entry after 6 hours immigration clearance at Narita airport and went back to America on 21st of Sep. She is a celebrity. At the same time, she is on a gossip magazine all the time. Before she came to Japan, she was arrested due to a possession of cocaine. After she was refused entry at Narita, the immigration office in Japan had good responses from people in other countries, such as “We respect Japan because they didn’t make an exception in favor of a big name.”, “Good work, Japan.”, and so on. Japanese people who heard this news saw it natural result. It is insane that although she had committed a sin, she thought she can get into Japan.
Let’s replace this happening to God’s Kingdom (heaven)? Many people who don’t know God are not convinced, that all the people can’t enter God’s Kingdom. Before we go abroad, we buy tickets and go to an airport. In addition, a criminal is refused entry. God paid a price already, forgives our sins and welcomes us to God’s Kingdom only believing. This is God’s love and grace. The one who can’t do anything for forgiveness is forgiven by the Lord’s grace and the one who deserves exclusion is welcomed with joy and blessing. What a wonderful thing that our names are written in heaven!
Luke 10:20
