He Extends His Hand

November 15, 2026

Revelation 3:20 and John 20:27 reveal the greatest act of divine courtesy: God doesn't force his way in but stands at the door and knocks, and the risen Jesus meets doubting Thomas with an open, nail-scarred hand. Salvation itself reflects God's manners. The invitation is to open that door if we never have, and to extend the same patient, dignifying hand to others.
