“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”
Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to them and eat with them, and they with me — the image of Christ knocking and awaiting invitation inverts the expected dynamic; even to the rejected Laodicean church, Christ offers intimate fellowship. Eating together (deipneō) signifies covenant communion and eschatological banquet anticipation.
