Be in touch with Him
You and I have a High Priest that is in heaven today, and He’s as busy as He can be. Now when He says He sat down, it means that His redemption was complete. It’s just the same as when it says God rested on the seventh day. He wasn’t tired. The Lord Jesus didn’t sit down up there to do nothing. He’s busier today than He’s ever been. He died down here to save us; He lives up yonder to keep us saved. And you and I ought to keep in touch with Him. This is reality. This is spiritual. The trouble today is we’re out of touch with the living Christ, and He’s no longer a reality to us.

About Dr. J. Vernon McGee
John Vernon McGeewas born in Hillsboro, Texas, in 1904. Dr. McGee remarked, "When I was born and the doctor gave me the customary whack, my mother said that I let out a yell that could be heard on all four borders of Texas!" His Creator well knew that he would need a powerful voice to deliver a powerful message.
After completing his education (including a Th.M. and Th.D. from Dallas Theological Seminary), he and his wife came west, settling in Pasadena, California. Dr. McGee's greatest pastorate was at the historic Church of the Open Door in downtown Los Angeles, where he served from 1949 to 1970.
He began teaching Thru the Bible in 1967. After retiring from the pastorate, he set up radio headquarters in Pasadena, and the radio ministry expanded rapidly. Listeners never seem to tire of Dr. J. Vernon McGee's unique brand of rubber-meets-the-road teaching, or his passion for teaching the whole Word of God.
On the morning of December 1, 1988, Dr. McGee fell asleep in his chair and quietly passed into the presence of his Savior.
