Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. (Rev 3,20)

Here again at the very end of Scripture we meet Melchizedek - Christ, "a priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek..., the Lord has sworn and will not relent, ‘You are a priest forever..." (Heb 7:17.21). Abram's revelation of God gradually grew as his heart approached God. God revealed his heart to him, his plan of salvation, as we shall yet see. Although from this point of view he lived in a different period of time, he met Christ and "saw his day" (Jn 8:56).

This Melchizedek is inviting no longer only Abram, but any human being. He wants to dine with us - he longs for an audience with anyone who is just willing to open and let him in.

Man really has nothing to enrich God with. Maybe with one thing, and it is actually the only one: God, who is love, desires to give this love, longs to have communion with man, to sit with him at one table. Our fallen nature, which the Holy Spirit is gradually transforming into the image of Christ, is still hindering the full audience for the time being. Yet in the next age all the curtains will be torn down and we will see face to face. Now we taste only the deposit, we see only "as in a mirror" (1 Cor 13:12).

And yet, how precious those moments are when we feel the breath of heaven in proximity to God, when we open Him the door and dine together.
