Last Sunday I was traveling back home to Manchester, Maryland. I worshiped that morning at Frostburg United Methodist Church in Frostburg, Western Maryland. This stately church is located at 48 W Main St, Frostburg, MD. The Rev. Rebecca Vardiman is pastor.
The banner on the right celebrates the newness of life we have in Christ.
Here is a beautiful stained glass window in the rear of the church, which is only visible by going into the balcony and turning around to see it.
The thing is, He will not come in unless we open the door from the inside of our experience and life. Notice that the door has no outside doorknob. He will not just come in, whether we invite Him or not. The knock is His and the acceptance and welcoming of Christ belongs to us.
Christ is knocking at the door of your heart today. His work on the Cross stands for all time and eternity, available to all who will believe and follow Him. His Spirit is knocking on the door of our hearts and minds, wanting to come in and lead and teach and guide us through life.
How will you answer his knock?
Behold, God makes all things new.
Behold, Christ stands at the door and knocks, wanting to come in and make His home with us.
On this day after Thanksgiving, God is making an invitation to you to make a new beginning.
Will you accept His invitation?
Do it today.
