ONLY ONE KEY

“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 KJV

Several years ago, one of my neighbors knocked on my door and told me she had locked herself out of her home and asked me if she could use my telephone to call the landlord to unlock her door and let her in.  As I was thinking about that, it reminded me that nobody but Jesus can unlock the door of our heart. 

The only key that will open the door to Heaven is the redeeming cleansing blood that Jesus shed for our sins on the cross.  Our loved ones can’t unlock the door to our heart and let Jesus come in because salvation is a personal experience between Jesus and us.  Have you invited Jesus into your heart?

We must keep praying for our loved ones.  A man gave his testimony during a Wednesday night prayer meeting and said “I’m saved today because of my mother’s prayers.  I saw her kneeling beside her bed and heard her praying for my salvation.  She prayed for me for over twenty years”.

Thank God for faithful mothers who pray and cry out to God for the salvation of their children.  How I miss my Mother!  I am so glad to know that she was saved.  One day when Jesus comes back for us or God calls me home, I will see my dear Mother.  Greater than that, I will see Jesus.  I long for that day.

Jesus is a Gentleman.  He will not push open the door to your heart.  He is waiting for you to let Him come in to your heart.  He loves you so much He died for you.  If you have never said yes to Jesus, I plead with you to say yes to Jesus today.
