ACCESS TO GOD

Years ago on the stone coping that ran around the White House sat an old man. Threadbare clothes covered with dust made him a marked figure & tears were on his face.

A little boy rolling a hoop stopped & asked what the matter was. The bent form lifted & the sad tale was poured out to the child. His son in the Army of the Potomac had been arrested for desertion & condemned. The guards had not permitted the man to pass to President Lincoln.

"I can take you to the President," said the boy.

"You?"

"Yes, he is my father. He lets me come in any time."

Thus it was the old man found the way to Lincoln & thus gained pardon for his son.

Thus it is that through Jesus Christ, the Son, we have access to God the Father.
