Knock, knock. Who's there?

Are you waiting for God to do something in your life? Jesus challenged the people of his day because they were always asking for signs and miracles to be performed so Jesus could prove himself to them.
How blind could they be? The Messiah was standing in front of them, telling them who he was, that he was the Savior they read about in the Scriptures, and performing the very miracles they were looking for.
And they still wanted to kill him. It's easy for us to see as we read the Bible today, but if Jesus was standing in front of you, inviting you to follow him, what would your response be?Well, he is doing just that. Everyday. "I stand at the door and knock," he says. "If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me."
That is the offer of life. Real life, spent in the presence of our Creator. Life to the full, eternal life, salvation. There are so many ways to say it, but Jesus is the only one who offers that life. Read the Gospels in the Bible, particularly John, and marvel at the things Jesus did. Every time I do, I know I am following the only one who will lead me home.
