We hear a lot about freedom today. I thing we have seen so much in our world where freedoms have been taken away that hopefully we appreciate the freedoms we do have. But there is a freedom that has already been paid for, that we can freely access, that we may take for granted even more than the freedoms of life and that is the free access we have to God through Jesus Christ.
There was an event for which folks attending had to have a ticket to enter. There were tickets which allowed for balcony seating, floor level seating, and tickets for seating in the first three rows. There were even tickets that would get you into The Green Room, where the leaders and speakers were hanging out waiting for their time to enter onto the platform. Three gentlemen with tickets for floor level seating looked and found the best seats they could find in their area. After saving their seats they noticed several seats in the very first row that didn't seem to be occupied. Chatting among themselves they decided they would watch those seats and if no one came to claim them they would move on up and get what could possibly be the best seats in the house. Almost time for the program to start they made their way to the unoccupied seats congratulating themselves on obtaining these great seats. Suddenly up runs this little guy with a couple friends, "excuse me sir, but this is my seat. And these other seats here are for my two friends." When he said his name, the three gentlemen quickly rose to return to their original seats. You see, the little boy had the same last name as the keynote speaker. It's all in the name. The little boy had an all-access pass. He could freely go anywhere in the event because of his dad.
That's the access we have to the Father. It's all in the Name. In Him (Jesus) and through Him we can come in freedom and confidence. We have an All-Access Pass. Any Time. Anywhere.
