Jesus Is Knocking At Your Door

“And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.”    (Luke 2:7)

Our God is waiting for us. Jesus was laid in a manger  because there was no room for  Him in the inn.  Like us,  God is knocking in our hearts, God is speaking to us through the Bible, patiently and uses people just to let us know He cares for us.

 I – Jesus Knocks at Your Door Individually – “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).  “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” (John 1:12).

II – He Knocks Through The Bible – “But what saith it?  The word is nigh to thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach....How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed?  And how shall they  believe in him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?”  (Romans 10:8,14).

III-  He Knocks Patiently – “I stand at the door and knock.” (Revelation 3:20). He knocks during our youthful days. “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth.”  (Ecclesiastes 12:1).

IV – He knocks Through The People – “Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” (2 Corinthians 5:20).

Do we have room in our hearts to accommodate Him? This Christmas, Jesus is waiting.
