KNOCK—KNOCK, WHO’S THERE

“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


In the late 1970’s, I sang in the Pamoja Community Gospel Choir in Winchester, Virginia. One of the songs we sang was “Let Him In” by Rev. James Cleveland. It is a powerful song that gives a call to salvation in Christ. The songwriter acknowledges, “somebody’s knocking and it must be Jesus—why don’t you let Him come in?”

Everyday is a good day to let Jesus in! I can only speak for myself, but I need Him daily to walk with me, to talk with me, to sup with me, to calm my fears, to wipe my tears, to hold my hand, to help me stand…

When I envision Him at the door of my heart, I can’t help but think of all the times I didn’t answer the knock. And yet, despite all the wasted days, months, and years, He never waivered—never gave up on me, He continued knocking ever so gently until the folly of handling life on my own gave way to the surety of a relationship with Him.

In the still of the night, when there is no sound other than the measured cadence of your own breathing, you may hear the faint knocking on the door of your heart. “KNOCK—KNOCK! Who’s there? Jesus! Jesus, who? Jesus, the Christ—your Savior, your Deliverer, REDEEMER.” Won’t you let Him in?


Thanking God for you today, I remain,

Pastor Kathy
