“I KNEW a little boy,” said a minister once at a meeting,— “he was my own brother, in fact,—whose heart was touched by a sermon on the words, ‘Behold, I stand at the door and knock.’ My mother said to him, when she noticed that he was anxious, ‘Robert, what would you say to anyone who knocked at the door of your heart, if you wished him to come in?’ and he answered, ‘I would say. Come in.’ She then said to him, ‘Then say to the Lord Jesus, Come in.’”
“Next morning there was a brightness and a joy about Robert’s face that made my father ask, ‘What makes you so glad today?’ He replied, ‘I awoke in the night, and I felt that Jesus was still knocking at the door of my heart, and I said, Lord Jesus, come in; and I think He has come in. I feel happier this morning than ever I was before.’ I could see that Jesus had come in by his obedience, by his beaming countenance, and by the love he showed to God’s Word and to God’s people.”
Dear reader, will you not let the Lord Jesus “come in”?
“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. 3:2020Behold, 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. (Revelation 3:20).
