Then Jesus Came

…then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. – John 20:26

Are you living behind closed doors bolted against some nameless dread or fear? Is it fear of man, fear of tomorrow, or some other phantom that peers in the window of your soul? The Lord is with you. You can count on Him, for He promised to be with us all the days – all kinds of days.

No prison bars, no dungeon gates, no walls of blindness, deafness, no Patmos isles of loneliness can keep Him out. The doors being shut…comes Jesus! “He saw them toiling in rowing…and…he cometh unto them.” Our very distress is the reason for His drawing close!

There is only one door He will not enter – the door of an unbelieving heart. But open that door and He will come in. All other closed doors are to Him an invitation, not a barrier.

“Then came Jesus…the doors being shut.”
