Ask, Seek, Knock

Pastor Oscar Roche continues our School of Jesus series, with a look at Matthew 7:7-12. These words in the Sermon on the Mount can be viewed as the Constitution of the Kingdom. "Ask and you shall receive; seek and you will find. Knock, and the door will be opened..." The word "ask" is an invitation to come into the presence of God in relationship. Don't be lax in your relationship with the Lord! Our prayer time is essential to building a deep relationship with our Holy King! Jesus has come so near in His incarnation. Oh, what kind of love does He have for us? We must go deep in the discernment that comes through our seeking times with Him. Keep knocking with holy persistence and the answer will be given to us. All of this goes even deeper. God desires us to navigate the relationships in our life, asking: How do I love? Do I have compassion towards others? Do I understand the mercy and forgiveness of our God? Whatever you want to see happen in your life, sow that into the life of others. We are called to give away the gifts He has given to us!
