Knocking On The Door
Matthew 7:7 "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you
will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who
asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will
be opened."
You can believe Christ was the Son of God, believe He died on the
Cross for you personally, and believe He rose again on the third day.
You can believe these truths in an objective way just as you can believe
it is now 65 degrees outside because you can read an outdoor
thermometer. You can believe these truths, but will you take other steps
on your faith journey? Will you begin to dig deep into the love and
truth of your Christian faith? Will you seek, ask, and knock for the
rest of your life? According to the words of Jesus, there is a spiritual
door within you. You have the power and the decision-making ability to
open this spiritual door or you have the power to leave the door closed.
Clearly, Jesus is putting the responsibility for action upon you by
telling you to ask, seek, and knock on your spiritual door. Like a
physical door, people can give a few tiny taps on this spiritual door
and quickly walk away. People can pound for a long time on this door.
People can knock on this door and not really want to be there. When this
door is finally opened some people may get frightened and back off and
run away. However, if you remain, the door will be opened and He will
welcome you, talk with you, and be with you.
