The Pleading Saviour
Homilist
Revelation 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him…


I. THE SAVIOUR'S HUMILITY AND CONDESCENSION.

1. Patience. Repeated application where rudely repulsed.

2. Desire to enter. Not for His own good or gratification, but for our salvation, because He delights in mercy.

II. THE SAVIOUR'S PERSISTENT EFFORTS.

III. THE SAVIOUR'S PROFFERED REWARD. The presence of Christ is the highest privilege man can desire. It involves —

1. Familiarity.

2. Reciprocity.

3. Unity.

4. Enjoyment.

(Homilist.)
