There’s a castle behind me here in Llansteffan - built to keep people out.
Strong walls. Locked doors. Secure.
And in Revelation 3:20, there’s an image just like that, but far more unsettling.
Jesus stands at the door and knocks … not outside a hostile world, but outside a self-assured church.
That means it’s possible to build a life that looks stable, successful - even spiritual - while quietly shutting out the one relationship it was meant to be built on.
Not through rebellion.
Through misguided independence: “I’m fine. I’ve got this.”
But Jesus doesn’t force his way in.
He invites. He waits. He offers relationship, not authoritarian control.
So here’s the question this raises:
What if the thing missing from your life isn’t more success or self-improvement … but a relationship with God you’ve never really opened the door to?
This isn’t complicated.
But it is decisive.
