Bold Access to the Father
Ephesians 2:18
For through him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.


It is the boldness of the little child that, unabashed by anyone's presence, climbs his father's knee, and throws his arms around his neck — or, bursting into his room, breaks in on his busiest hours, to have a bleeding finger bound, or some childish tears kissed away; that says if any threaten or hurt him, I will tell my father; and, however he might tremble to sleep alone, fears neither ghosts, nor man, nor darkness, nor devils, if he lies couched at his father's side. Such confidence, bold as it seems, springs from trust in a father's love; and pleases rather than offends us.

(T. Guthrie D. D.)
