STILL KNOCKING

"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
King James Version

Rev. Sylvanus D. Phelps wrote the hymn "LET THE MASTER IN" Have you opened the door of your heart and let Jesus come in, not only to be your Saviour but also to be your best Friend Who loves you so much He died for you?

"Once I heard a sound at my heart’s dark door, And was roused from the slumber of sin; It was Jesus knocked, He had knocked before; Now I said, Blessèd Master, come in.

Then open, open, open, let the Master in; For the heart will be bright with a heav’nly light When you let the Master in."

Have you made room for Jesus in your heart and in your life? If not, you are hurting Him and breaking His heart.
Daniel W. Whittle wrote the hymn "HAVE YOU ANY ROOM FOR JESUS?"

"Have you any room for Jesus, He who bore your load of sin? As He knocks and asks admission, Sinners, will you let Him in?

Room for Jesus, King of Glory! Hasten now His Word obey; Swing the heart’s door widely open, Bid Him enter while you may.

Room for pleasure, room for business, But for Christ the Crucified, Not a place that He can enter, In the heart for which He died?"

One day every one of us will stand before God and give an account of the way we treated His beloved Son. How sad it will be if we can't look in His eyes because we hurt Jesus. Let's make a special effort to be kind and loving to Jesus.
