The Grands Letter

Dear Grands,

Matthew 7:7-14, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
8 “For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
9 “Or what man is there among you who, when his son asks for a loaf, will give him a stone?
10 “Or if he asks for a fish, he will not give him a snake, will he?
11 “If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!
12 “In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.
13 “Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the way is broad that leads to destruction, and there are many who enter through it.
14 “For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it.”

No writings of mankind are in any way, shape, or matter, comparable to the Holy Scriptures! And no writings of Holy Scripture, notwithstanding their inerrancy and inestimable value, are superior to the words of the LORD Jesus in the passage above. It is the sure way of salvation from the lips of the Master Himself.

The words, “ask…seek…and knock” presuppose a continuous activity of extremely heightened importance. Further, their ultimate discovery relates to spiritual salvation. Christ compares our spiritual search to a boy’s human request of his earthly father.
And our Heavenly Father wants to give us salvation even more urgently than our earthly father wants to provide for his son.

He concludes this brief passage with the encouragement to “enter through the narrow
gate…for the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few
who find it.” Have you discovered the way of salvation? Are you aware of how greatly
the LORD desires you to become one of His spiritual family? Let me restate the way:

“AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE
NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED” (Acts 2:21).

“WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL
BE SAVED” (Rom. 10:13).

Give your heart and life to Jesus Christ today! It’s life at its best –and it’s eternal!

Heartily in Christ Jesus,

(Dado III)
