This is one of the saddest pictures in all the Bible. Jesus Christ is outside of the professing church pleading for entrance. The strict interpretation of this passage is, "Behold, I have taken my stand at the door, and am knocking." This is an activity going on today. He continues knocking, for sorted out Christendom is in numerous quarters energized with a same soul that characterized the husbandmen in the story of Luke 20:9-18.

This is one of the saddest pictures in all the Bible. Jesus Christ is outside of the professing church pleading for entrance. The strict interpretation of this passage is, "Behold, I have taken my stand at the door, and am knocking." This is an activity going on today. He continues knocking, for sorted out Christendom is in numerous quarters energized with a same soul that characterized the husbandmen in the story of Luke 20:9-18. By and by we see where men have assumed control or taken over what rightly belongs to God. A equally heart-searching message is here also for the individual Christian. This tender but delicate request isn't expressed in the voice of the Judge of Revelation 20, yet originates from our High Priest's heart of love for His blood-bought people. Jesus needs to impart the best of paradise's endowments to His own. The steadiness of this love is confirmed or evidenced by the fact, as we have noted previously, that He continues knocking. Is it accurate to say that we are among the individuals who have received salvation from Him but then have defied and rebelled surrendering our everything to Him? Instead of His finding an open heart, would he say he is stood up to with a closed door? Having readily acknowledged discharge (release) from wrongdoing's (sin's) guilt and embraced the assurance of paradise, would we say we are yet rejecting or refusing Him access to various areas of our regular day to day lives? He wants to share with us glories far above anything we could ask or think; but the latch is on our side of the door; He won't force His benefits on any of us. He promises to come in and sup with us. Of this Ottman has expressed: "A dinner is a night supper, it is the last taken before the morning breaks and the day first lights. It is since a long time ago the apostle stated, "The night is far spent, the day is at hand'; to sup with Christ before morning breaks is a foretaste of the coming glory...of heaven." The time is growing short, and by keeping Him on the outside we are presently missing the best He has for us. Let us make a full and happy surrender to Him. We will find as John expressed in his first epistle: "Truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ."
