GETTING THE FATHER'S ATTENTION

Paul Mahan


Not long ago I was sitting in the study of a pastor friend of mine when I heard someone calling my daughter's name. I kept hearing a little voice hollering, "Hannah ... Hannah." After hearing this a few more times, I finally looked up and there was a small boy standing at the door calling to me, "Hannah. - . Hannah." He didn't know my name, but he knew that I was Hannah's dad; so he was trying to get my attention by calling her name. I dropped what I was doing and entertained the little fellow.

If you want to get the heavenly Father's attention, the best way to do so is by calling on Him in the name of His Son. That "Name which is above every Name" is music to the Father's ear, and all who call upon Him in that Name will get His attention. The Father dearly loves the Son and "He that loveth the Son will be loved of the Father" (John 14:21). The Father always hears the Son and will always hear those who call upon Him in the Name of the Son (John 16:23; I John 5:14). "God is Spirit." "No man hath seen God at any time." We don't know much about God, but we do know the Son. The Son of God has been seen... looked upon ... handled." ". . The only begotten Son, He hath declared Him," and we can be confident of having an audience with the Father and being received by the Father because of our relationship with the Son.
