The Passport to Glory

The moment that you own that you are a lost sinner, you may look into the face of the Son of God and claim Him as your own Savior. And what a moment is that in the very courts of heaven!
Christ Jesus, the Son of man, came "to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:1010For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10). The Lord of glory walked as a solitary man on the earth, except when He met a needy sinner. Such alone could interrupt the solitude of this heavenly Stranger. The world knew Him not. "He came unto His own, and His own received Him not." John 1:1111He came unto his own, and his own received him not. (John 1:11). His path was ever lonely among men, except when He and a sinner found their way to each other. In drawing them to Himself He could say, "I have meat to eat that ye know not of." What joy to His lonely heart to have poor, lost, ruined sinners respond in truth to His constraining love! And for this response, weak and feeble though it may be, He gives unto them eternal life—the very life of God—relationship with God, the Father, as His child and through Christ Himself He presents to each redeemed sinner the passport to glory: "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by Me." John 14:66Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6).
Will you not come unto Him on that basis, dear lost one? Own yourself helpless, guilty, ruined, a sinner in need of a Savior. Jesus stands ready and waiting to receive you, for for that very cause He came down from the courts of glory to die the death of shame on Calvary's cross. Believe Him, receive Him, and "thou shalt be saved." Acts 16:3131And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31).
