Notice in this famous picture of Jesus there is no door handle. The handle is on the inside.
Another thing to notice is that this is part of the letter written to the church at Laodicea. Jesus is calling Christians to a closer relationship with Him.
As He is also calling the lost to know Him.
Revelation 3:20 (NLT)
“Look! I stand at the door and knock. If you hear my voice and open the door, I will come in, and we will share a meal together as friends.

Sin Does Not Have To Rule Over Us

Therefore, he had to be like his brothers and sisters in every way, so that he could become a merciful and faithful high priest in matters pertaining to God, to make atonement for the sins of the people. For since he himself has suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted.
Hebrews 2:17-18 (CSB)

No temptation has come upon you except what is common to humanity. But God is faithful; he will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to bear it. 1 Corinthians 10:13 (CSB)

If you do what is right, won’t you be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.” Genesis 4:7 (CSB)

Does the fruit in your life glorify God?

5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned.
7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you.
8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples. John 15:5-8 (NKJV)

Lord Jesus,
Help me to abide, to remain in You. Help me to live a life which brings glory to You.

When we delight ourselves in the Lord, He will bring joy and pleasure in our life. Jesus will lead your steps today and even if you fall He will hold you up. He will even bring comfort in your anxieties. Delight yourself in the Lord today and let Him bring joy and comfort to your life.

Psalms 40:8 (NKJV)
8 I delight to do Your will, O my God,
And Your law is within my heart.

Psalms 37:23-24 (NKJV)
23 The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD,
And He delights in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the LORD upholds him with His hand.

Psalms 94:18-19 (NKJV)
18 If I say, “My foot slips,”
Your mercy, O LORD, will hold me up.
19 In the multitude of my anxieties within me,
Your comforts delight my soul.

LORD, set up a guard for my mouth;
keep watch at the door of my lips.
Psalms 141:3 (CSB)

8 but no one can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 With the tongue we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in God’s likeness.
10 Blessing and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers and sisters, these things should not be this way.
James 3:8-10 (CSB)

Prayer:
Lord, today help me to control the things I say. I know my words can be a blessing or a curse to those around me. Help me today to be a blessing to those around me in word and deed.
Amen.
