'Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. (NASB Revelation 3:20 ) Question: Which other verses of the bible talk about this passage? An Answer: Luke 12:36,37; John 10:3; John 14:23; Matthew 24:33 In the immediate context, to whom is Christ addressing these words? Rev 3:14 "And to the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write." So, clearly, Christ is addressing *the church* of the Laodiceans. Rev 3:20 *I stand at the door and knock.* "Usually taken as a picture of Christ's knocking on the door of the individual unbeliever's heart. In context, however, the self-deluded members of the congregation are being addressed" (p. 1853, NASB Study Bible, Zondervan, 1999). 3:20 *I stand at the door and knock.* "Rather than allowing for the common interpretation of Christ's knocking on a person's heart, the context demands that Christ was seeking to enter this church that bore His name but lacked a single true believer. This poignant letter was His knocking. If one member would recognize his spiritual bankruptcy and respond in saving faith, He (Christ) would enter the church" (p. 1997, MacArthur Study Bible, Word, 1997). "How incredible that Christ should be kept outside *His own church!* How gracious that He should still seek entrance!" (p. 1900, Ryrie Study Bible, Moody, 1976, 1978). Grace to you, Kalos |
