I want to introduce a most famous verse from the Word of God. Uh, if it is 'most famous' as you say, why would you need to introduce it? Exactly, but sometimes a good reminder and comment on a verse is edifying and uplifting too. Here is the verse for today:
Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (Revelation 3:20)
Imagine hearing that voice from the other side of your door, opening the door, and having dinner with the Lord. We couldn't wait to tell our friends the next day. Texts and e-mails would fly from our fingers. The social media post would go viral. "What did you eat? What did He say? Is He still here?" The questions would come from your friends faster than you could answer. And yet we do not believe. That will never happen to me. Jesus is in heaven and I am here. Boo, hoo, hoo.
Yes, there is a spiritual meaning to that verse, and yes there is also an eternal meaning as I'm sure Jesus will delight to dine with each and all of us on the New Earth, but this is what He said in His word. Might there not be a meaning we can partake of here and now? Can we not invite Him in? Wouldn't dinner with Jesus be great? I know that Jesus wants to do this in His great love. So, how important is that Second Coming anyway? Well, it may be so important that He holds off on dinner for just a bit. We dine with our Lord in faith as He partakes with us in His Spirit. One day though, there will be a knock on the door of a house. It might be yours! Let Him in.
Grace and peace to you from the Amen (see Rev 3:14),
Bucky
