Have you ever imagined hearing a knock at your door, and when you answered, it was Jesus? Have you also imagined what the conversation would be like if He were actually there? Maybe it would go something like this:
Me: Jesus, You came down to this world that is full of hate, anger, and unfairness. You are the all-powerful Prince of the whole universe . . . What made You do it?
Jesus: When the precious children I created became evil, I couldn’t bear to see them suffer, so I came to be “one” with them and share their lot.
Me: But didn’t You know what it would be like? It’s awful down here!
Jesus: Yes, I knew. But since I could never be happy living without My beloved children, I lived among them as one of them and paid the price for their sins so I could have them close to Me forever.
Me: But I have so many sins in my past . . . Do you remember “that one”? I have asked You to forgive me for “that one” many times.
Jesus: My dear, precious child . . . please believe Me when I say that I forgave you the first time you asked Me to. I saw that you were sincerely repentant, so I cast “that one” into the depths of the sea and placed a “No Fishing” sign over it. My greatest pleasure is to forgive sins! Please don’t listen to Satan when he tries to make you think you aren’t forgiven. I have conquered him, and he knows it—My victory is also your victory!
Me: When You went back to heaven, You went as a human being. You could have gone back and taken up the status You had before coming down here.
Jesus: I could have, and in a way, I did—I am both human and divine. But I wanted to be “one” with my human brothers and sisters for all eternity. There will never be any change in My love for you, my cherished child!
Me: When are You coming back to take me to live with You? I really, really want to live with You!
Jesus: And I really, really want you to live with Me. I will go to get you just as soon as I can, dear one! That time is coming fast.
Me: May I pray for You, Jesus? I know You grieve terribly when You see all that is happening down here in the beautiful world You created.
Jesus: Thank you, precious child. I love you for that, and loving Me is what it will take for you to live with Me.
If you hear a knock at your door today, don’t expect to find Jesus there because it’s actually better than that . . . He doesn’t have to come to your door; you can talk to Him anytime, anywhere. Isn’t it amazing that the Creator and Sustainer of the universe and our Savior is right there to listen to us? “Little me” is equally important to Him as the most profound matter in the whole cosmos!
