Dear Young Christian:
I have lots of names and numbers in my contact list on my iPhone. These are the names or numbers of people I want to be able to get ahold of in a hurry without looking up their information elsewhere. In the airport, in my vehicle, at a hotel, someone’s home, in another country, etc.
But, there is one contact I never have to look up or press a button for. That contact is the Lord Jesus, at the throne of grace. The invitation is, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16). That is all the contact information that we need to reach heaven at a moment’s notice. No doubt about it, there will be times of need this week. But there is always an open line to heaven. We don’t need an appointment, and there is no call-forwarding, call-waiting, or dropped calls. We can come any time of the day or night and find a listening ear, a sympathetic hearer, and One who is willing and able to help us no matter how great or small the circumstance.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
We would love to hear from you.
