Are you any man
(any person)? I am. There is a great pictorial scripture in
Revelation of Jesus standing at the door knocking to come in. Since
a door is the gateway into a person’s home, then it could be said
that Jesus is knocking at the door to our earthly home (our whole
selves) and He wants to come into our lives.
Behold, I stand at the
door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door,
I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Rev.
3:20
What a precious
promise. If we hear His voice and we open the door for Him, Jesus
will come in to us and sup with us. The meaning is that of the main
meal of the day, and unlike our rushed meals of today where people
run in and out or gulp down food to get to the next event, in olden
days it was a place of close association and communication- even the
meal itself would take a while.
Like I’ve often
heard, Jesus is a gentleman; He’s not going to force His way
into our lives. In like manner, He won’t break down the door of
our home… we’ve got to let Him in by our own decision.
Just think of it like this: Early this morning when you woke
up, Jesus started knocking on your door with hope that you would open
it for Him. If you didn’t have time, He’s patiently waiting and
knocking until you do. “I am standing at the door and knocking.”
ISV
Do you believe
Jesus is worthy of coming into your home? If you do, open the door
of faith (Ac. 14:27) to your heart today “…To day if ye will hear
his voice, Harden not your heart…” (Ps. 95:7,8; Heb. 3:7,15;
4:7) Don’t be stubborn and ignore the knocking as if He was a
nuisance, but get up and open the door to Him, and He’ll change
your life in incredible ways. I am not the same person I used to be,
and the world is better off because of that.
Jesus is so worth it!
Knock,
Knock, Knock
“Let
Me in please.”
