I stand at the door and knock (NIV) Rev 3:20 Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me. Rev 3:21 To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with me on my throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with my Father on his throne. Rev 3:22 Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. Thru The Bible with J. Vernon McGee, puts it this way: This is a picture of the Lord Jesus at the hearts door of the sinner. It is a glorious picture. The English artist, Holman Hunt, attempted to put this concept on canvas. He pictured Christ standing at a door. When he first painted the picture, he invited his artist friends to criticize. One of them said to him, Holman, you have left off a very important part of the door. You left off the handle of the door. Hunt replied, This door is a picture of the human heart, and the handle of the door is on the inside. This is the picture of Christ we have in Revelation. He stands at the door and knocks. He will not crash the door. Regardless of what some extremists say on this matter of election, the Lord Jesus has moved heaven and hell to get to the door of your heart, but when He gets there, He will stop and knock. You will have to open the door to let Him in. I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. This speaks of fellowship, of feeding on the Word of God, and of coming to know Jesus Christ better. youtu.be/-Q1Ts23JvtU
