In 1 John chapter 2 we see God’s protection - “If
anybody does sin, we have One who speaks to the Father in our defense - Jesus
Christ, the righteous One.
It is because of our relationship with Jesus Christ
that we can stand before the Father and get to heaven. We would not stand a
chance without Him.
There is a story about a poor boy many years ago who
had heard that the great evangelist, Dwight L Moody, was going to be preaching
for one night at a church way across town. The boy so wanted to hear him that
he took off bright and early and it took him the whole day to get to that big
church across town. When he got there he saw a big staircase leading to a big
door. He made it up the stairs and as he was walking in the door a big hand
came down and grabbed him, and said what do you think your doing? He explained
that he had taken all day to get there a and he was there for the services. The
big man said you cannot come in here looking like that so be gone!
The boy was crushed, but decided he had not come all
this way to be turned back out to the street. So he tried the side doors, the
windows, and all around the building, but could not find a way inside. He
walked back to the bottom of the big staircase sat down and began to cry. He
did not notice but another big man was standing in front of him. “What’s wrong son?” he asked. The boy still sobbing
explained what had happened. When he was through with his story the big man put
out his hand, and said, “Take my hand and come with me”. He did and climbed the
big stairs again, but this time the big door was opened and he was allowed in.
He walked hand in hand with the man to the front of the church where the big
man and him sat on the front pew. A few minutes later the service started , and
the big man walked up to the pulpit as Dwight L Moody was introduced
Jesus Christ will do the same to us. We just have to
put our hand in His!
Be wise today and always - put your hand in Jesus' hand.
