[Discoveries] 05-06-08 A better meal -- Revelation 3:20

[Inspiration in Your Inbox]

/*Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and 
opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me. -- 
Revelation 3:20*/

Jesus stands at the door and knocks. Why does He knock at the doors of 
our hearts? The Bible says that He wants to come in and dine with us. 
Let me suggest something. Jesus is bringing the meal with Him.

One day I drove by a homeless man who was climbing into a dumpster to 
find a meal. He was hungry and he was scavenging for the best food he 
could find.

The more we invite Jesus in, the more we feed on what He brings to the 
table, the more dumpster food looks, smells and tastes like dumpster food.

It makes little sense to criticize a homeless man for eating from the 
garbage. After all, that's all he has. Instead, we may offer him 
something better.

We must understand that sin is the best food that most people can find. 
Most don't know that Jesus offers something better. Even many Christians 
secretly want to sin because they are still feeding on leftover scraps 
from yesterday's Jesus or somebody else's Jesus, instead of hosting Him 
at the table right now, today.

All of this is wonderful news because we don't need to wait. This moment 
was created for you and Jesus.

Be encouraged!
Dwight
