June 15 Evening Devotional | Jesus Opens The Door | Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Evening, June 15 | “Who opens and no one will shut.” —Revelation 3:7 (NASB)

This Evening's Scripture Reading: Revelation 3:7-13 (NASB)

“And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia write:
He who is holy, who is true, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, and who shuts and no one opens, says this:
‘I know your deeds. Behold, I have put before you an open door which no one can shut, because you have a little power, and have kept My word, and have not denied My name. Behold, I will cause those of the synagogue of Satan, who say that they are Jews and are not, but lie—I will make them come and bow down at your feet, and make them know that I have loved you. Because you have kept the word of My perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who dwell on the earth. I am coming quickly; hold fast what you have, so that no one will take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God, and My new name. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’

Devotional Video Transcript:

Jesus is the keeper of the gates of paradise and before every believing soul, he sets an open door, which no man or devil shall be able to close against it. What joy it will be to find that faith in him is the golden key to the everlasting doors. My soul, do you carry this key close to you, or are you trusting in some dishonest locksmith, who will fail you at last?

Hear this parable of the preacher, and remember it. The great King has made a banquet, and he has proclaimed to all the world that none shall enter but those who bring with them the fairest flower that blooms. The spirits of men advance to the gate by thousands, and they bring each one the flower which he esteems the queen of the garden, but in crowds, they are driven from the royal presence and enter not into the festive halls. Some bear in their hand the deadly nightshade of superstition, or the flaunting poppies of empty religion, or the hemlock of self-righteousness, but these are not dear to the King, the bearers are shut out of the pearly gates.

My soul, have you gathered the rose of Sharon? Do you wear the lily of the valley in your bosom constantly? If so, when you come up to the gates of heaven, you will know its value, for you have only to show this choicest of flowers, and the Porter will open: not for a moment will he deny you admission, for to that rose, the Porter ever opens. You shall find your way with the rose of Sharon in your hand up to the throne of God himself, for heaven itself possesses nothing that excels its radiant beauty, and of all the flowers that bloom in paradise, there is none that can rival the lily of the valley. My soul, get Calvary’s blood-red rose into your hand by faith, by love wear it, by communion preserve it, by daily watchfulness make it your all in all, and you shall be blessed beyond all bliss, happy beyond a dream. Jesus, be mine forever, my God, my heaven, my all.
