Going Wireless?

by Elsie Schuett Flynn  
4/22/2011 / Christian Living

We all know that USB cables link a piece of equipment to a computer. I'm going to use a digital camera as example. The cable transfers images from the memory device inside the camera to the to the memory device inside the computer. Once there, a few clicks of the mouse, and another cord sends the signal from the computer to the printer, and viola!, you have a picture. Technology has evolved and now we can do all this without the cables. We've gone wireless!. Not only do we not need the cable, our camera can communicate directly with the printer, eliminate the need for a clunky computer system.

In the old covenant (promise) God had with his people, the Israelites, a perfectly healthy and unscarred animal had to be sacrificed to make up for sins. It was slaughtered and the blood was sprinkled on the altar by the High Priest, the mediator between God and His people. Now we are under a new covenant, the covenant of Grace. Jesus, perfect and without blemish (sin), sacrificed himself on the cross, and became the once-and-for-all blood sacrifice for everyone's sins. Because of Jesus, we no longer have to go through a high Priest, nor do we have to offer an animal's blood to make up for our sins. Jesus made the way for us to go directly to God. That includes all people, not just the Jews gentiles, pagans, atheists, budists, islamics, and everyone else. Romans 10:9-1 says, "If you declare that Jesus is Lord, and believe that God brought him back to life, you will be saved. By believing you receive God's approval, and by declaring your faith you are saved." Jesus is the cord that connects us to God. He is the only way.

I'm going to refer back to the computer and USB cords Technology has evolved so we don't need cords and cables to connect one piece of equipment to another. Instead, a signal is transmitted between the pieces of hardware. The camera can communicate directly with the printer. Some cell phones have aps that can send a picture to a printer from anywhere the phone signal can send it! Maybe you don't need a cord, or even be anywhere near, you still need a connection and a signal. There are many signals to get you interested in God, but there was, is and forever will be only one connection to hook you up with God, and that's Jesus. John 14:6: Jesus answered him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one goes to the Father except through me."

You can point the camera at the printer and push the send button all day long, but without the connection, you can't print a picture. Jesus is our only connection to God and His Kingdom (Heaven). There is nothing we can do to get there. We can't work our way in, and we sure enough can't buy our way in. Reread the two scriptures, Romans 10:9-10, and John 14:6. Jesus did all the work. Jesus paid our way. He's the only connection to God. This fact will never change, will never be upgraded, and will never go "wireless".
