Not every opportunity is an open door from God—and not every closed door is a setback. The question isn’t simply whether a door is open, but whether Jesus is the One who opened it.

As part of our Summer of Revelation series, “An Open Door” explores Revelation 3:7–13 and Jesus’ message to the church in Philadelphia. Jesus reveals Himself as the One who is holy and true, who opens doors no one can shut and closes doors no one can open. In a culture that often defines open doors by good opportunities, Jesus teaches His disciples to recognize Godly assignments. Even when we have “little strength,” our limitations do not limit the authority, power, or purposes of God. He opens doors for our sanctification, closes them for our safety, and calls us to faithfully hold fast to His Word and His name. When our trust is in Christ, we can walk through every door He opens knowing that our strength and security are found in Him.
