(1:35 PM PST) - Vancouver, BC is an amazing place to live and work. I moved here 1 year, 2 months, and 10 days ago and I instantly became attached to the city’s---almost endless beauty, abundant conveniences, and vast diversity. To begin listing each of the incredible attributes of Vancouver would be overwhelming for me and pointless for you because this is not a travel or tourism website. However one of the downsides of downtown Vancouver is parking.
Free parking and Vancouver are not normally found in the same sentence or paragraph because almost everywhere downtown you find parking meters patrolling every street and parking lot. It’s not uncommon to pay $1.50/half hour. Today I was headed downtown to study at the library, I was expecting to pay but was pleasantly surprised to find “free parking”.
Was it really free? I didn’t pay anything, but someone did and I benefitted, receiving almost 5 hours of free parking. I was ecstatic! The story goes like this someone was leaving when I was arriving and they rolled down their window and handed me their parking pass which was valid until 6PM.
All I can say is that Jesus is offering us eternal life free of charge. This gift cost Him lots, way more than you or I could ever afford, but it was free to us, we didn’t have to pay anything. Jesus paid it all! He ransomed us back from Satan for the cost of His life. There’s no such thing as a free lunch, free parking, or free salvation.
But there is such thing as a free gift. Jesus is offering it to you and me. Are you interested?
