The Golden Ticket

Walking in the Word

John 12:21

²¹ Then they came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and asked him, saying, “Sir, we wish to see Jesus.”

Responding to the Word

I loved the movie, "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory."  I am referring to the original version.  Remember the golden ticket?  Remember the joy and anticipation that erupted after a poor white child named Charlie found it?  I believe that same joy and anticipation filled the hearts of the Greeks who came and asked to see Jesus.  Those five words are life-changing.  "We wish to see Jesus!"  

Today, you and I have privilege of meeting with and talking with Jesus on a daily basis.  We don't need to go to Philip and then to Andrew like the Greeks did in the Bible.  We don't even need to go to a Pastor or Teacher to talk with Jesus.  We simply bow our heads, clear our minds and talk with Jesus as if He's sitting right beside you.  
Praying in the Word

Father, Help us to talk with You as if You are in the room with us.  Please forgive any sin that interferes between our love for You.  Father, thank you for great night of Prayer-Walking last night.  I pray you bring several to the Kingdom and to VBS. In Jesus' Name, Amen
