Guess who's at the door
Commentary
It's a picture of God that we see again and again throughout the pages of scripture.
We see it in the familiar story of the shepherd who leaves the 99 in order to pursue the one lost lamb. And, again, a few verses later, we see it in the father running to meet his prodigal son. We see it also in the cherished portrait of Jesus standing at the door and knocking. And we see it most dramatically in the Bethlehem stable. It is a picture of a God who comes to us.
