“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, . . . .” Revelation 3:20

The church at Laodicea had to be told that Jesus was no longer inside. By now he was outside, standing at their door, knocking, asking to be welcomed back in. I wonder when he left them. I wonder why they didn’t notice. I wonder how they responded when they heard this knock on their door. I hope they ran to the door and threw it wide open.

It would not be a waste of time for every church board — elders, deacons, whatever — to take one hour out of all the many hours they spend together and devote just one hour to these questions:

What are the unmistakable signs of Jesus’ presence in a church, according to Scripture?

What evidences do we see here among us of his wonderful presence?

Is his presence as powerfully real now as it has been in the past?

If not, how quickly, how practically and how radically can we run to the door and open it up again?
