Jesus at the Door

Revelation 3:14-22

November 3, 2024 • Jeff Lyle • Revelation 3:14–22

Could you imagine a church that was so impressive, so wealthy, so refined, and so admired that…not even Jesus could get into it? This is not a theoretical type of church. It is an actual historical church where Jesus was on the outside, knocking at the door, and waiting to be welcomed inside. The ancient church at Laodicea is not unique in this description of being lukewarm, unwelcoming, and nauseating to Jesus. While we see powerful moves of the Spirit resulting in many churches experiencing revival today, the other side of the coin is that many (most?) churches have closed doors to the deepest and truest desires of Jesus. This message helps us to evaluate our own individual hearts to see if our internal passion for Jesus has turned to room temperature. Fortunately, Jesus allows us this type of examination to awaken us and to bring us again on the pathway of deep satisfaction and great reward. It is the time for may. To open the door to the One who stands and knocks.
