You need the Password

"Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the King 

of glory shall come in. 8Who is this King of glory? The Lord strong and mighty, The Lord mighty in battle. 9Lift up your heads, O you gates! Lift up, you everlasting doors!

And the King of glory shall come in. 10Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts,
He is the King of glory. Selah".  Psalm 24:7-10  NKJV

It seems like everywhere you go these days and most things you do, they all need a password. This can be very frustrating as I found out yesterday. Having just updated my mobile phone, I carried out the transfer of my apps and data, a simple job the mobile screen told me. And it was, until this morning when I tried to access my online banking, it kept blocking me and refused point blank to give me access. After a few hours of messing around with this, I gave up and knew that I would have to ring the bank and go through all of the; 'Your call is important to us, stay on the line and I will try to connect you.' After what seemed like hours, the problem was solved.

This got me thinking. There is a password into heaven and this is Jesus. Without Him no one will have access. God's Word says: 'For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.  17For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18“He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.'

So we need this password - Jesus to be able to gain a place in heaven. However, there are many benefits to having Jesus in your life before you even get to heaven. He leads the way for us (if we allow Him) each and every day. He gives us peace while the rest of the world are frustrated with many issues. I remember a time when I was in a position that appeared hopeless. But I did what was the only thing I could do, I called on Jesus to help me, and He performed a miracle for me and rescued from this problem. If I had not known the password, I would have been sunk.

If you know Jesus, perhaps things are going really well in your life. On the other hand, things may be grim. Without trying to teach you to suck eggs, why don't you call on the name above all names - Jesus. He will help sort things out far better than you know how.

If you don't know Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, then there is a prayer below which you can pray. Things may not change for you immediately but, you will know the password - Jesus, and that's all you need.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:

Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today. 

In Jesus' Name. Amen'
