What good is a door without a doorknob? Especially if the hole is left there for one. The main purpose for having a door is to provide privacy. But without the doorknob, you can not only see through the room, but the door doesn't close very well either. We discovered this for the last couple of days after putting a new door on one of our bedrooms. It seemed pretty vital to purchase that knob and complete the project. So tonight my nephew and son-in-law "got 'er done".
We've all seen the picture of Jesus knocking at the door, symbolizing His need for an invitation to enter our life. The door is important, but so is the doorknob. It reminds us that some action, like turning the knob, is required for the Lord to come into our heart. Only after we have unlocked the door, turned the knob, opened the door, and asked the Lord to come in can the process be complete. So our salvation requires steps of conviction, repentance, faith, and acceptance.
Make sure your doorknob is in working order, and then just listen for the knock.
