When the Lord Knocks, Do You Open the Door to Greet Him?

Revelation prophesies, “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).

“He that has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches” (Revelation 2:7).

We can see from these scriptures that when the Lord returns in the last days, He will use His utterances to knock upon our doors. When we hear “what the Holy Spirit says to the churches,” it means that the Lord has knocked on our doors. Just as God says, “[S]ince we are searching for the footprints of God, it behooves us to search for God’s will, for the words of God, for His utterances—because wherever there are new words spoken by God, the voice of God is there, and wherever there are the footsteps of God, God’s deeds are there. Wherever there is the expression of God, there God appears, and wherever God appears, there the truth, the way, and the life exist. In seeking God’s footprints, you have ignored the words ‘God is the truth, the way, and the life.’ And so, many people, even when they receive the truth, do not believe that they have found God’s footprints, and still less do they acknowledge the appearance of God. What a grave mistake!” If we want to welcome the Lord, we must learn to listen to God’s voice and actively seek the Lord’s new words in the last days. This is what wise virgins should do, and only thus can we have the opportunity to welcome the Lord and attend the feast with Him.

Now the Lord has returned, is knocking on our doors. As long as we humbly seek and pay attention to hearing the voice of God, we will welcome the appearance of the Lord.
