‏ Revelation of John 3:20-21

3:20 ^a A person or a church must hear Jesus knocking and open the door to him. Christ provides a pattern of revival for a church that has grown spiritually weak and fallen out of fellowship with him. Simply opening the door can renew their former bond.

• we will share a meal: A shared meal symbolizes acceptance, deep friendship, and a covenant relationship (19:9 ^b; see Gen 18:1-5 ^c, 16-19 ^d; Exod 12:1-31 ^e; 18:12 ^f; Matt 26:26-30 ^g).
3:21 ^h The reward for victorious and obedient faith is to sit with Christ on his throne. Christians do not become divine, but they share in Christ’s victorious reign (20:4 ⁱ, 6 ^j; 22:5 ^k; Col 3:1-4 ^l; 2 Tim 2:12 ^m).
