Revelation 3:20 Revelation 3:20 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. Behold I stand at the door, and knock. Christ called this Church, her elders and members, to consider how unwilling He was to leave them, to forsake them, and cast them off, if they would take His counsel and amend. Behold, that is, observe well what I have yet further to say to you, ere I depart from you. I stand at the door, and knock. Christ knocks at the door of our hearts by the powerful operations of his Holy Spirit, as 1 Thessalonians 1:4-5. and Hebrews 4:12. Christ continued his presence still with this Church, notwithstanding their luke-warmness, (as he did of old, Hosea 6:4-9. and Hosea 11:1-4; Hosea 11:7-12. How shall I give thee up Ephraim?— How shall I make thee as Admah? how shall I set thee as Zeboim? mine heart is turned within me, my repentings are kindled together;) because, First, Christ knew some of those luke-warm ones were elect ones, whom the Father had given unto him, John 6:37-40 and 2 Timothy 2:19. and John 10:16 or else Christ doth this to leave them without excuse, Romans 1:20 and Hebrews 2:1-3. If any man hear my voice, and open the door That is in the ministry of the Word, and open the door of his heart, by a willing content to accept his offers of grace upon gospel-terms. I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. This is a great encouragement unto them to answer his earnest desire, and gracious invitation to open their hearts, and to admit him entrance, by promising them, First, Union with him; I will come in to him. Secondly, Communion with him; And sup with him, and he with me. By supping together, we may understand the mutual fellowship between Christ and their souls, in the sacred ordinances of God, 1 John 1:3.
