A little boy was listening as his father read the Bible. He heard the words of the Lord Jesus in Revelation 3:20: “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.”
Suddenly the boy ran to his father’s side and eagerly asked, “Did they let Him in?”
And you, dear reader, have you heard the Lord Jesus knocking at the door of your heart? Did you let Him in?
Mr. Henderson was a Christian who often went to visit sick folks. One day he knocked at the door of an old sick woman, but he received no answer. He knocked louder; still no answer. Finally he put his ear to the keyhole and then he heard a weak voice saying, “Who is there?”
“It is I, Mr. Henderson.”
“O, Mr. Henderson, I am very ill; I cannot get up to open the door, but just turn the handle and come in.”
Mr. Henderson did as she said and once inside, he immediately set about to comfort the sick lady. He provided her with some food and medicine, so that he left her quite happy.
The Saviour is knocking at your heart’s door. Won’t you quietly say to Him, “Lord Jesus, come into my heart.” Never will He refuse such a request.
“Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.” Isa. 45:22.
