John 20
John 20:26
Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
A popular prayer these days is “Lord, open the door” because we simply can’t walk through doors that are closed. We need God to rearrange the situation. For us, it is a necessity. But for Jesus, the rules do not apply.
There’s a shift in thinking.
When the situation looks like one big closed door, don't fret. Simply smile and know what Jesus is capable of. He doesn't need to pick a lock. He doesn't need to pop the hinges. He doesn't even need to kick the door down. He can pass right through that door as if it were nothing. That impossible situation that looms large is like thin air to our Jesus. He will come, stand in the midst, and speak peace to your heart. We don’t need to pray for an open door. We can just pray for God to move.
