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. (Revelation 3:20 ESV)
Inside
One of favorite historical places I have visited is Chartwell, the home of Sir Winston Churchill, Britain’s famous WWII Prime Minister.
I have walked through his bedroom, stood near his writing desk, wandered around his garden, and observed his whiskey cabinet.
I was inside.
But I did not eat there. I did not dine with him there. I did not share a meal with him, there.
But oh, if I had… my awe would be intense.
Jesus calls His people to come in to His home, heaven. But we will not be wandering through like tourists. We will not have to merely imagine His presence there. We will not have to be sentimental, or academic, or simply interested.
We will EAT WITH HIM!
We practice it when we are allowed to celebrate His Communion.
We practice it when we worship.
We practice it when we spend quality time with other believers.
When we get to come in through Him, the door… we will eat with HiM!
