“WHERE CAN WE GO?”

“What can we do? Where can we go? I don’t know WHO to turn to!”

That are very real questions and cries from desperate people TODAY! They need to be answered quickly. And thank God, there is an answer for all of us!

The first two questions I read some time ago on a paper, which was pinned to a wall for everybody to read. The third question was written on a leaflet for people with gambling problems.

“What can we do? Where can we go?” are cries from young people of today, a judge at a Brisbane Juvenile Court writes in an open letter to teenagers. His answer is:  “GO HOME! Mow the lawn, wash the dishes, learn to cook, build a raft, get a job, visit the sick, study your lessons. And, after you have finished, read a book!”

But how do we answer the cries: ” I don’t know WHO to turn to? What can I do? Where can we go?”

The answer is: COME HOME! Come home to your loving Heavenly Father. Turn to your Heavenly Father. He is waiting for YOU!

One book in my library I cherish very much. It is written by the German pastor Wilhelm Busch, who worked with young people in  Essen. I used to go to his church services and meetings for the young people when I was young in the faith and before I ever went to Thailand as a missionary. It is called “COME HOME” and he is talking about the Parable of the Lost Son in Luke 15:11-31.

I don’t know if you are aware, that the Lord used Isaiah 45:22 to bring Charles Haddon Spurgeon to himself. Isaiah 45:22: “TURN to me and be saved, all you ends of the earth; for I am God, and there is no other.”

Charles Haddon Spurgeon preached in the Metropolitan Tabernacle in London. The Tabernacle seated 6 000 people.

In John 6:67 the Lord Jesus Christ is asking the twelve,” You do not want to leave too, do you?” ( We would probably be afraid, to ask a question like that, especially if we would be the pastor of a church.) Please read what Simon Peter answered in John 6:68,69!!

The answer is so important to me , that I am going to write it down here: “LORD, TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE. WE BELIEVE AND KNOW THAT YOU ARE THE HOLY ONE OF GOD.”
