Club 33!
"Do not love the world or the things in the world.
If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father
is not in him."
1 John 2: 15
Most of the Walt Disney parks have an exclusive area known as
Club 33, a VIP lounge modeled after the private areas of the 1967
World’s Fair. Walt Disney wanted an area where he could conduct
business and entertain high-income guests.
Club 33 locations are hidden in the various parks, and most
tourists walk by them without knowing they’re there. It takes
years to join the club. There’s a $33,000 initiation charge plus
an annual $15,000 fee.
As for Walt Disney himself? He passed away six months
before the club’s official opening, so he never experienced
the luxury he designed.
All our lounges and luxuries and worldly trappings disappear
from our view the moment we pass away, so it’s best to live
as unattached to them as possible.
On the other hand, the followers of Christ can look forward to
Club Forever, our eternal inheritance in the new heavens, new
earth, and New Jerusalem. We can’t afford the admission
cost, but Jesus paid it for us.
"Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face,
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim, in the light
of His glory and grace."
