76. He Opened A Door No One Can Shut

Revelation 3:8

Did you go too far this time? Did you cross the line? Did you do that thing that is so bad that Jesus Himself would point to the door telling you that you need to get out? I mean, everyone has a line, right? Everyone has their limit - even Jesus, right? When you think about what you did, (or just the fact that you did that same old thing yet again) it makes you sick, right? You probably feel like you’d rather Jesus just go ahead and scream and yell and throw things. I know this: all of that stuff is exactly what Satan wants you to think. He wants you to think that Jesus has a whole lot of mercy and forgiveness, but not that much. The Enemy wants you to think that Jesus can forgive just about anything, but that thing you did is in a whole other category of wrongness. That bitter old snake wants to convince you that the love and pardon of Jesus is basically limitless, except of course, when it comes to you and that thing you did. “Unfortunately, that is where Jesus will simply have to draw the line,” the Enemy will say. Do me a favor - tell that twisted, defeated jerk in your head to move on to someone else, because you’re done listening. Tell him this: “Jesus Christ, the Son of God gave His precious blood for me and the blood of God covers everything. The limitless love of God covers all my insane rebellions and Jesus has never turned me away!” Jesus said, “I have placed before you an open door no one can shut.” Sin, Satan and self may try, but that door’s staying wide open.
