“These open doors represent opportunities to take the Gospel to the world as we fulfill the Great Commission: “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…”
Where to go, what to do, and what to say, are all part of seeking the doors Jesus opens. We want to follow Him through those doors.
That doesn’t mean we are passive. The apostle Paul didn’t always wait for doors to open. In Acts he pressed forward into places the Lord had not opened.
Sometimes you have to try doors. They may open. They may not.
Another thing about doors. Jesus opens them for us. He doesn’t just point them out and tell us to go in. We have no strength to open spiritual doors. Even though a door may be yours, or mine, we can attempt to open it ourselves, in our own energy. They had discovered, and were going through, the open doors of ministry.
Philadelphia’s unique situation as a city called for a unique strategy of ministry. How do you best share the Gospel in a hub city like this? How would it be different than other cities?“
