Revelation 3:20 “Behold I stand at the door and knock: if any man hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him and he with me.”

This is one of those verses that I love to write about. For those who hear the voice of Jesus and opens the door to the Lord has given His desire to enjoy His fellowship.  This verse reminds me of a song I learned many, many years ago in my youth.  The song There is Something Mighty Sweet about the Lord is a song about a person’s daily walk with the Lord.  The words in this song, “it really does not matter what the people said there something mighty sweet about the Lord’, reflects how simple, yet so wonderfully fulfilling our daily walk with the Lord is in the life of those that know Him as Savior.   

These words from Revelation chapter three were written to the church of Laodicea, which I consider is a reflection of the church today.  To this church Christ pictures himself as standing outside the church knocking on the door to have fellowship with anyone who will open the door.  In Philippians 3:8 Paul writes, “More than that I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord for whom I have suffered the loss of all things and count them but rubbish in order that I may gain Christ”.  In this verse Paul reveals the wonderful joy we have when we open the door of our heart and let Christ in.  This is the true purpose of a believer’s life, to open the door to Christ and turn over everything to Him.
