KEYS TO THE KINGDOM
My first car was a 1958 Chevrolet Bel-Air. I once locked my keys in the car. After half an hour of trying to get in with a coat hanger (remember when that worked?), another fellow employee tried his keys for a year newer Chevy, and it opened my door! Keys aren’t supposed to be interchangeable like that. My keys wouldn’t work in his door, but his key worked in mine.
In the Kingdom of God, sometimes our keys are interchangeable, and sometimes not. Jesus gives us keys to spiritual blessings, but sometimes the keys only work for us. And sometimes the key only works today but won’t work tomorrow. Tomorrow He’ll give us a new key.
I like to call these “keys” Keys to the Kingdom.When the woman with the issue of blood touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, it was a key to her healing. It wouldn’t work for anyone else, only her, and only for that ailment, and only on that occasion. Its what I like to call the Miracle of Alignment. He aligns the right people in the right place and the right timing. And only God can do that.
