Revelation's Jesus Door (3.7,8)

"To the angel of the church in Philadelphia write: These are the words of him who is holy and true, who holds the key of David. What he opens no one can shut, and what he shuts no one can open. I know your deeds. See, I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut. I know that you have little strength, yet you have kept my word and have not denied my name." (Revelation 3.7-8)

There is a door of missionary opportunity before every Christian and we do not need go overseas to find it. Within the home, within the circle in which we move, within the parish in which we reside, there are those to be won for Christ. To use Revelation's Jesus door of opportunity is at once our privilege and our responsibility. In the way of Christ, the reward of work well done is more work to do. Philadelphia had proved faithful and the reward for her fidelity was still more work to do for Christ. It has also been suggested that Revelation's Jesus door which is set before the Philadelphians is none other than Jesus himself.

Holman Hunt's Painting of Jesus at the Door Jesus said, "I am the door."¹ With Jesus Christ, the new kingdom of David was inaugurated and so Revelation's Jesus door is to admit others to the kingdom of God.

¹ John 10:7,9

"Revelation's Jesus Door."
