Our Open Door

You know those times when you find yourself in a jam... when even your best intentions got you stuck in a bad position? What a relief when help finally comes!

So the last thing you want to do is go back to a place where you could get stuck all over again, right? But what if an angel told you to?

For that's what happened to Peter and John.
They continued to preach about the death and resurrection of Jesus in the temple complex even when the teachers of the law had warned them not to. So they got arrested and thrown in jail.

But somehow without the notice of anyone else, an angel opened the door, releasing them with instructions to go back to the temple... and tell the people about this life.

It's pretty clear these guys had never seen a jail-break movie because they do exactly as the angel says. They don't even consider making a run for it. 

It would seem that when God wants to be Our Open Door, releasing us from what binds, His intention is that we openly use it to tell others about the life it brings us, the freedom found in it. Even though it's possible that it may bring persecution and trouble. 

But I guess if He sent one angel, He can certainly send another. It's not like God is short on angels or open doors. And He wants us to realize that His word of life has more meaning when we boldly return to the scene of the crime and share it from our personal experience. 

Thank You, Lord for being Our Open Door of opportunity. Let us enter in boldly to tell others about this life You gave, so that we could live.
