"Is the Lord knocking at the door of your day?"

Brothers and Sisters,

This week I want to take a moment to share a brief reflection that has been on my mind. One that centers not on a grand assertion, but on a very personal and intimate invitation.

The image found in Revelation 3:20 is one of the most well-known in all of scripture; painting a picture we often associate with change: "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."

But as your pastor, I believe this message speaks just as powerfully to those of us who have already welcomed Christ into our lives. It’s a strong reminder that the divine doesn't simply enter and then settle into a distant corner. Instead, our Lord continues to seek daily fellowship—a shared meal, a moment of deep communion.

Think of it: Christ is waiting to be invited into the everyday spaces of our lives—our worries, our quiet joys, the decisions we wrestle with. He doesn't just want to be our foundation; He wants to be our constant companion at the table of our daily existence.

Furthermore, verse 21 points us toward a shared future: "To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." This isn't just a promise of heaven; it is a vision of dignity and partnership, assuring us that our faithfulness today leads to glory and authority alongside Him tomorrow.

My prayer for all of us this week is that we pause and listen for that quiet knock. Let us intentionally make room for that Divine Guest, not just once, but every single day, knowing that the greatest reward is to share in His presence now and forever.

May you have a blessed and reflective week.

In His Service,
Pastor/Elder Donald Bridgett
