“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
That’s one of the numerous quotes by Jesus, recorded in Matthew 7:7-8. Apart from “Love thy Neighbour as thyself,” I consider this particular quote recorded at Matthew 7:7-8, as one of the most powerful gospel quotes by Jesus.
Imagine,
can you know the deliciousness of food when you haven’t tasted it? Without
making a journey to a place, how can you know the beauty of that place, because
pictures aren’t enough?
Without reading the Bible to understand the gospel, to seek the face of Jesus, how can you know him? It’s necessary to search for something before you can find, isn’t it?

Again when
you need something without asking, how do you receive it? And when you are
entering the house of your neighbor, you may stand behind the door for hours,
if you don’t knock on the door to be welcomed. “Blessed are pure of heart,
for they shall see God.”
If you want to know someone, then let it be your goal to search for ample information about the one. The same applies to Jesus, if you search for him, you will not only know about him but you will find him.
