“Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.”

-Jesus, Revelation 3:20 ESV

Context: This verse is from the letter to the church at Laodicea. The letter was dictated to John the apostle by Jesus Christ in a vision while John was a prisoner on the island of Patmos (Revelation 1).

The church at Laodicea had become complacent and "lukewarm" (Rev. 3:15-19), depending on their wealth rather than on Christ. In this verse, Jesus invites them to repent, open the door to let Him back in, and He will once again fellowship with them.

Verse of the day: Matthew 8:26.

Context:

23 Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him.

24 Suddenly a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping.

25 The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We’re going to drown!”

26 He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

27 The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!”

"For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God."

-Romans 1:20
New Living Translation (NLT)

The post image depicts several small waterfalls coming down the side of a mountain into a dark blue-green pool. The text of Romans 1:20 overlays the image in white text.
