Dear friends of BCUC,A very familiar quote from Jesus is from the end of chapter 3 of Revelation: “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.” This comes after a challenge to the churches to repent and turn to Jesus.I find this one of the great captivating pictures of the Christian life. The image of a door to our lives, Jesus standing outside, knocking, calling, waiting for us to listen and respond. Then the wonderful joy of him coming into our lives to share a meal together.  I wonder what Jesus would see if we showed him around our house or life?The book of Revelation then switches from this image to another doorway at the start of chapter 4: “After this I looked, and there before me was a door standing open in Heaven. And the voice I had first heard speaking to me like a trumpet said, 'Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after this.'"Now that Jesus has shared food together in our place he invites us back to his. Two doors to two very different places. The vision we are given when John, the writer of Revelation, walks through that door into the Throne room of the Almighty God, Lord of all, Holy and glorious is beyond breathtaking and enough to dazzle even the darkest cynic. It’s a place we can read in chapter 4 and 5 of Revelation. It makes Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory seem like a broom cupboard. It is that place we are going to explore this Sunday. We will look at the lion and the lamb, the 24 elders, the four angels, the throne and more.N. T. Wright quotes a friend who calls it “One of the two most wonderful chapter in the bible”. I encourage you to read them and even unto 7. To dwell in them. To soak in the imagery. Once you do that you can’t help be transformed. I invite you to walk through the door.Look forward to worshipping with you Sunday,Benji
