“Listen! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and have dinner with him, and he with Me.”
Revelation 3:20 HCSB
When I go to visit anyone I take with me a gift. It may be food, drink or something I know will bless. Jesus is standing outside the door, knocking and bringing gifts. You do not know what they are, there is an element of surprise here, and for me, joyful anticipation.
When God created Adam and Eve He met with them daily in the garden to talk over their day. He brought His glory and majesty with Him, perhaps choice fruit. I am only imagining what it would be like.
Each day I have my Jesus comes for fellowship. Jesus said, ‘I will come in and eat a meal with you’. This indicates He is bringing something to eat. Have you ever had a friend turn up at your door with a cooked meal? Wasn’t it a delightful surprise? What joy you had eating together!
Now for a difficult verse: “The one who eats My flesh and drinks My blood lives in Me, and I in him.”
John 6:56 HCSB
The hearers of these words found them difficult and turned away. Was Jesus inviting cannibalism? No! He was saying that accepting all of Him is our food and drink. If we take all of Him and not just salvation, we are nourished with all that He is. As He comes daily to fellowship with us, do we take a crumb, a sip or sit down with Him and feast on all that He is?
He is good indeed! Amen!
