I want you to listen to this message. It's a very, very important message. All of them are, but I want you to listen carefully because there's a picture of Jesus here that's not found anywhere else in the Scripture. And it's so comprehensive because it's about our relationship to Him. Now, here's the verse. Look at this. Behold, this is Jesus. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into him and will dine with him, and he with Me." Here is a beautiful, beautiful, masterful picture of Jesus. And so what I want us to do, I want us to see Him in the five different perspectives that He's mentioned here. And the first one is this. Here's what He says. He says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." So we see Jesus, first of all, standing. What does that symbolize? His readiness. That is, He's ready to enter a life that's willing and ready for Him to do it. He says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock." Now, I want you to notice something here. Who's taking the initiative?
