It can be nerve wracking being a host. Especially when our budget and skills are modest. Then, if a dignitary arrives...In those cases...cater. Jesus came to Zachaeus' house for dinner. Imagine the angst he experienced.
Imagine our angst , if Jesus would say to us,” what’s for dinner?”
Christ does do that. Just like He invited Zachaeus to eat with Him, every day He says,”behold I stand at the door and knock.”
He desires to eat with us. That is, He desires fellowship with us. His Presence is real and can be experienced if we want to welcome Him. Let’s not make an excuse. Zachaeus didn’t have anything special, he came as he was. So it is with Christ. We don’t have much to offer him. He will be pleased with the mere smile at the door when you let Him in.
If we have felt unease in our heart, a desire for more, for real love, then it is God knocking at the door of our heart.
As He said,”If any man open the door I will come in and sup with him.” Let's make haste and receive Him joyfully.
a word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pitchers of silver
