"Jesus knocking on... who's door?"
Who's door was Jesus really knocking on??
We often read the text, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me", but who's door is He really knocking on? We often use this and assume He was knocking on the doors of unbelievers, but the context says otherwise.
Series Intro: Putting verses back in context helps us better understand the author's message and intent. Throughout this series, we are seeing the context of favorite commonly memorized verses and letting the fuller context apply to our lives. The "Interpretative Journey" from Duvall & Hays is helping us see how we can read, study, and apply the Bible in our own lives. We do not have to wait until sundays to hear what God's Word means from the preacher; we can already apply these good practices of interpretation in our own studies as well. So let's see what Revelation 3:20 means in context and let that context give us richer meaning in our lives.
