2:39, #343: Knock...Knock...

Who's there?
Jesus.
Jesus who?
Jesus who takes away the sins of the world.

What? Did you expect the typical knock, knock joke? I read two devotionals this morning that were based on Matthew 7:7, "Ask, and it shall be given to you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened to you." Didja ever notice the handy acronym in the order described here by Jesus?
Ask, and it shall be given to you
Seek, and you shall find
Knock, and it shall be opened to you

James...you know, the Show Me Apostle...points out that we don't have because we don't ask.
The guy who wrote Hebrews says we should come boldly into the throne room of grace and ask.
God's "telephone number" (would Heaven be a land line or a cell phone?) is Jeremiah 33:3, "Call to Me, and I will answer you, and I will tell you great and mighty things, which you do not know."
Got something to ask?
