Have you heard of this transfer portal?
It's been around longer than you think!

The transfer portal.
The door through which many athletes are choosing to walk. Transferring from one college program to another. 'Tis the season!
After conferring with their coach and the compliance office, athletes can be in the transfer portal within 48 hours.
Two thousand years ago on the cross as the promised rescuer, Jesus Christ entered another portal, not an athletic portal but a spiritual portal.
"For He delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of His dear Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." (Colossians 1:13)
When Jesus died on the cross, He entered the transfer portal of sin and darkness and transferred all of mankind to His kingdom, a kingdom of forgiveness and light. A kingdom of freedom.
How do you activate your transfer?
You simply accept His death as sufficient payment to get you out of the domain of darkness, a domain each of us entered when we were born. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23) "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." (Romans 6:23)

Exiting the portal of darkness is simple. Opening the door for you to come out was costly. It cost Jesus His life.
Lord Jesus, thank you for transferring us from the kingdom of all the dark places of our lives and transferring us to the kingdom of Your Son. Thank you for entering into that portal of darkness and taking me out of there! From darkness to light.
Coach, there will be lots of mention of entering and exiting the transfer portal in the next few weeks. Each time you hear of the "transfer portal" may it remind you that Jesus transferred you out of the portal of darkness into the Kingdom of His Son.
