April 25 Evening Devotional | Open The Door | Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Evening, April 25 | “If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” —Revelation 3:20 (NASB)

This Evening's Scripture Reading: Revelation 3:20-22 (NASB)

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’ ”

Devotional Video Transcript:

What is your desire this evening? Is it set upon heavenly things? Do you long to enjoy the high doctrine of eternal love? Do you desire liberty in very close communion with God? Do you aspire to know the heights, and depths, and lengths, and breadths? Then you must draw near to Jesus; you must get a clear sight of him in his preciousness and completeness: you must view him in his work, in his offices, in his person. He who understands Christ receives an anointing from the Holy One, by which he knows all things. Christ is the great master key of all the chambers of God: there is no treasure house of God which will not open and yield up all its wealth to the soul that lives near to Jesus.

Are you saying, “O that he would dwell in my heart and that he would make it his dwelling place forever”? Open the door, beloved, and he will come into your souls. He has long been knocking, and all with this object, that he may eat with you, and you with him. He eats with you because you find the house or the heart, and you with him because he brings the provision. He could not eat with you if it were not in your heart, you finding the house; nor could you eat with him, for you have a bare cupboard, if he did not bring provision with him.

Fling wide, then, the portals of your soul. He will come with that love which you long to feel; he will come with that joy into which you cannot work your poor depressed spirit. He will bring the peace which now you have not; he will come with his flagons of wine and sweet apples of love, and cheer you till you have no other sickness but that of “love o’erpowering, love divine.” Only open the door to him, drive out his enemies, give him the keys of your heart, and he will dwell there forever. Oh, wondrous love, that brings such a guest to dwell in such a heart!
