I knock.
If you hear me call and open the door, I'll come right in and sit down to supper with you."(3:20)
There was a show I enjoyed as a kid, "Let's Make A Deal". The remaining contestants at the end of the show were asked to pick Door 1 or 2 or 3. I would always become nervous because usually, they had to give up some pretty neat prizes won thus far for the chance to choose. There was never a guarantee that behind the door were better prizes. More often than not, they weren't and the "winner" walked away a "loser".
Reading these Scriptures today reminded me of the game show. I also noticed for the first time, it isn't a blind choice. Christ is telling me, "Look at Me. I stand at the door. I knock. If you hear me call."
He isn't leaving anything to chance. I not only see Him standing there, He is knocking at which door I am to open and He is calling out to me. To me.
And if I open the door He is knocking on, there isn't any hesitation. "I'll come right in and sit down to supper with you."
The neatest part of all this, I know He isn't coming as a guest, but as family. He wants not only to sit down and share supper with me, He wants to share life with me.
He won't be exiting out that door, unless I show Him out - and that ain't happening!
He is here to stay.
"HE" is why I am not a "loser", but a "winner". No games about it.
