Greatly Rejoice in Christ Jesus Alone!
"He
that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the
churches."
-REVELATION
2:29 [KJV]
These
words extend the message beyond the church to which they were spoken,
and address themselves to every one to whom the word comes, and to
whom an ear is given to hear and receive it. Thus each message sent
to the churches becomes a message sent personally to us. If we have a
spiritually circumcised ear, if we are willing to listen to the voice
of the Lord, He speaks to us in every message as personally and as
distinctly as He spoke to each individual church. It is indeed an
unspeakable blessing to have this ear given to us that we may receive
in humility, simplicity, and godly sincerity what the Lord speaks in
the word of His grace.
It is by His word that He knocks at the door
of our hearts; and what a blessing He has pronounced on the man who
hears His voice and opens the door when he hears the knock, like a
fond and affectionate wife when she hears the knock of her husband at
the door of his house: "Behold, I stand at the door, and
knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the door, I
will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me"
[REVELATION
3:20].
