Open the door to Truth

No matter what the difficulty, consider spiritual healing.

From the April 2001 issue of The Christian Science Journal


IN ONE OF MY BIBLES, the words of Jesus are written in red ink. I like to use this version because I believe everything he said was significant, and I want his words to stand out. Sometimes I take one of these passages and live with it awhile, trying to understand its deepest meaning.

Recently I was surprised to see that the book of Revelation also has passages in red. This came to my attention when I heard a woman ask, "How do we 'open the door' the way Jesus said to do? What do you think that means, exactly, to open the door?"

I was intrigued by this question myself. So I searched for that reference and found this passage in Revelation: "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne." Rev. 3:20, 21.
