The Safest Spot in the Universe
by Dr. John Barnett
The safest spot on earth is just outside Colorado Springs, Colorado. It is a super secure military command center called NORAD. There in the Rockies, under Cheyenne Mountain, a mile deep in the granite corridors, is the heart of America’s missile defense center.
The main entrance to the complex is approximately one-third of a mile from the North Portal via a tunnel which leads to a pair of steel Blast Doors each weighing 25 tons. Behind the 25-ton blast doors is a steel building complex built within a 4.5 acre grid of excavated chambers and tunnels and surrounded by 2,000 feet of granite. Excavation began for the new NORAD Combat Operations Center in Cheyenne Mountain in May 1961. The excavation was nearly complete one year later.

Built at the height of the Cold War and able to withstand any bomb blast, chemical or biological weapon–it is self sustaining for those inside for two years. But only if you are able to get there in time to avoid the attack.
The safest spot in the universe, that is even safer than Cheyenne Mountain, is also the closest. Closer than that military center, closer than your safe room, closer than a shelter, closer than anything else–is the refuge God has designed.
Jesus Christ our hope, our refuge, and our salvation–is one thought away, one prayer away. He is as close as a cry, as close as an out-stretched hand, or an upturned heart. Anyone, anywhere can instantly arrive in that safest of all places–from any location.
Turn to Hebrews 6 as we look again at these precious words of security, comfort and hope!
Hebrews 6:17-20 Thus God, determining to show more abundantly to the heirs of promise the immutability of His counsel, confirmed it by an oath, 18 that by two immutable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before us. 19 This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, 20 where the forerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
This refuge is the safest spot in the universe. But how do we get there? God’s Word says we come by “laying hold of the hope set before us” (v. 18). What is that hope? It is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
