Revelation 3:20– “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.”
At nearly 90 years old, our friend, Paul, actually climbed a ladder to trim a large palm tree in his front yard! He slowly made his way to the top, one rung at a time. He stopped to rest, occasionally, peering out and over the ladder’s top, looking down at neighboring houses, and surveying nearby yards.
Comparatively, the sycamore tree Zacchaeus climbed in order to see Jesus as he traveled down the Jericho road, was not nearly as tall. But, it was high enough to give a man of ‘short stature’ a better view.
You most likely know the story. Jesus invited himself to dinner that night at Zacchaeus’s home and both he and his household were saved.
Zacchaeus had been looking for Jesus. Could it be perhaps, that you are looking for Him, too?
You won’t need to climb a tree to meet him, but like Zacchaeus, Jesus welcomes your invitation to let Him into your heart. In fact, scripture tells us that He stands at your heart’s door and knocks, and that if you open the door, He will come in!
His spirit will take up residence inside you. He will never leave you, nor forsake you. He’ll become your constant companion—your truest friend.
How about taking a look—upward?
