Christ knocks by his word, and he knocks by his rod; he knocks by his spirit, and he knocks by his messengers, and he knocks by conscience, Oh open to him, for he is very rich. Though you shut the door against a poor man, yet you will open it to one that is rich, and why not then to Christ, who would fain have entrance. Rev. 3. 20. 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.
