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.
Revelation 3:20 KJV
Easter is tomorrow. The day set aside to celebrate Jesus rising from the tomb after three days- a miracle in itself.
We know the story. We have seen different Hollywood versions over the years. We may have a favorite or the box-office hit that we watch every year. Some may plant a Rescurrection Garden and display it next to the bunnies on the entrance table.
The way to celebrate Easter is by our choice, but I want a minute and focus on the word "knocking". Jesus is knocking at our hearts. He is calling us:
Please forgive me
I need your grace to make it through
All I have is you, I'm at your mercy
Lord, I'll serve you
Until my dying day
Help others find the way
At your mercy, please forgive me
I can't believe the God of earth and glory
Would take the time to care for one like me
But I read in the Bible that old story
How he plead for my forgiveness while he was dying
on a tree
Gerald D. Crabb
I will heed the knock and open the door for Jesus to enter. Please forgive me for where I have failed you. I am here Lord to serve you.
