Revelation 3:20 English Standard Version (ESV) Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.

The Door is your heart.

How can we open the door to our heart when Jesus comes knocking?

How did all the things in your heart get there?

Matthew 19:21-22 English Standard Version

21 Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me.” 22 When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions.

We chase after what we lust after and gather them into our emotional warehouse.

Jesus doesn’t come knocking until you are ready to answer the door. That means that the treasures of your heart have lost their hold on you, lost their glitter, and you want someone who will love you no matter what.

Why would the King of Kings come into your heart only to take second place? The answer is that He will not.

John 15:9-11 English Standard Version

9 As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Abide in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. 11 These things I have spoken to you, that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be full.

What commandments?
