DINNER

“Behold, I am at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will enter him and dine with him, and he with me. ”Revelation 3:20.

Jesus is outside knocking on the door of our heart. He calls long before we are saved. "If anyone hears my voice and opens the door," he says. However, most people do not listen to His voice, but on the contrary, they listen to other voices and open the door of their heart to everything but Jesus. But Jesus only enters and dines with those who hear His voice and open the door.

However, Jesus is not only at the door of our hearts knocking before we are saved. We can say that every time we are tempted, whenever we have to make a decision, He is at the door and knocks. The question now is: what voice do we hear? If we hear the voice of Jesus in the midst of temptation - when our flesh with its passions and desires attract us - and we open the door of our heart, then He will come and dine with us, and we with Him.

To have dinner with Jesus is to break bread with Him, and bread is the Word of God. When we open the door at the time of temptation, He will enter our hearts and break bread with us - he will open and reveal the Scriptures, which become food and help for our lives. When Jesus makes the Word alive for us it fills us with joy and joy. Besides that he also shares the wine with us.

This is something completely different from hearing the voice of the flesh and opening the door to passions and desires, which are what make us fall into temptation. Falling results in pain in our hearts and causes us to reap corruption.

May God give us grace so that we can always hear His voice when he knocks on the door, and that we open so that He can enter to dine with us, and we with Him!
