Mary’s father had a telephone in the house, so that he might communicate with his place of business and from it to his home. Little Mary’s delight was to “ring up” her father and hear him speak. It was a great astonishment to her the first day that she went to the instrument, to hear her “very own father’s voice,” although he was miles away.
Years passed on. Mary was now a girl of twelve. She came home from her class in the Sunday school one afternoon greatly distressed, and in deep soul trouble. She had learned she was a sinner in need of a Saviour, and her teacher had been telling her God’s way of salvation.
“But how can I hear God speaking, when He is in heaven and me upon earth?” was her anxious question, as she sat by her father’s side that evening.
“It’s just like the telephone Mary. I speak to you from my office and you hear my voice. The Lord Jesus speaks from heaven through the Bible, and by hearing and believing what is written there, you hear His voice.”
“He that heareth My Word, and believeth on Him that sent Me, hath everlasting life.”
That very hour she became a possessor of everlasting life, and you also may have this same eternal life, if you accept Him as your Saviour.
No audible voice will be heard, no vision given, but the written Word of God through which He speaks to you.
Do you believe on Him?
