What if heaven had a direct phone line?
I
f AT&T could establish a direct phone link between earth and heaven on a given Sunday morning, and Jesus Spoke simultaneously via satellite to congregations all over the world, what do you think He would say? You’re sitting there in your pew, your heart beating fast. What will His instructions be? “You shall be witnesses to Me...to the end of the earth.” and after He said that, I think He would certainly repeat the words He spoke to Peter, “Feed My sheep.”
In other words, “Brothers and sisters in the church, you live in a time of terrible demolition. My eyes miss nothing. I have seen it all. But even while precious things all around you are being torn down and dismantled, you can be in the process of building. Build up My Church! Take care of My sheep. Feed them. Tend them. Love them … as I have loved you.”
We don’t need a direct phone line, do we? We don’t need a satellite connection to heaven. He has given us His inerrant Word, which is a light to our feet and a lamp to our path.
He has given us His holy spirit to dwell within us, illuminating the pages of Scripture, reminding us of everything Jesus taught. “Fear not, for I am with you always.”
