So if the Lord Jesus is the Door into Heaven, and if He is the Way to Heaven, we have got to find Him, and He will take us safely into His Father's House.
How can we find Him?
I met a tiny boy once trotting along a busy street. He had no hat on, and was only about three years old. Suddenly a big dog sprang playfully on him. He screamed in terror and fled. I took him up in my arms, and he put his little arms round my neck and clung tightly to me.
"Take me home! Take me home!" he cried.
But he couldn't tell me where his home was, and I did not know. I put him down on the path again, when the dog was out of sight, hoping he would trot in the right direction. I asked several people if they knew him. No one did. I walked up one road with him and then another; and was afraid I would have to take him to the Police Station, when suddenly a young woman met us. She had come from his home, and was looking everywhere for him. I gave him into her charge, and he went away quite happily. I had tried to help him, but I was unable to do so. I could only hand him over to the one who knew the way.
The Lord Jesus Christ is always looking for boys and girls. They may ask grown up people, teachers, and preachers to help them, but they cannot take them to Heaven, they can only hand them over, as I did, to the One who is looking for them.
Jesus Christ is close to you. He came down to this world to be the Door from earth to Heaven. He died to open that Door wide to every one who comes to Him and trusts Him.
Will you come to Him to-day just as you are, and ask Him to take you by the hand and never leave go of you till you have arrived inside Heaven? He will do it. He has said: "Those that seek Me early shall find Me." "No man cometh unto the Father, but by Me."
