Here are twelve of the greatest sermons ever preached on Revelation 3: 20: 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. Evangelistic, forceful, scriptural, persuasive, warmhearted, forthright, expositional- these are but a few of the adjectives used to describe these sermons of Flavel, preached in the years 1688-1689. Present-day Christians will find much in Flavel's content and style that speaks directly to them.

Excerpt from Christ Knocking at the Door of Sinners' Hearts: Or, a Solemn Entreaty to Receive the Saviour and His Gospel, in This the Day of Mercy The following is a revised edition of an admirable treatise by the author of "The Fountain of Life" and "The Method of Grace." It appeared originally under the title of "England's Duty" and consisted of twelve sermons, preached, under the rich effusions of the Spirit, to the author's congregation, in the years 1688-9, about two years before his death, on the restoration of religious freedom, through the revolution that virtually annulled the Act of Uniformity, by which the author for twenty-five years had been restrained from the free and public exercise of his ministry. In this edition the treatise has been arranged in the form of chapters, and while considerable liberty has been taken with the language, in changing obscure phraseology, substituting modem for obsolete words, and omitting repetitious passages, the spirit of the writer and his views of Christian doctrine have been carefully preserved, and every scriptural quotation has been verified. A new title has likewise been adopted, more significant of the subject-matter of the work. It is believed, that in its present. form, it will be esteemed a worthy companion to those already named, and, under the divine blessing, add greatly to the usefulness of the estimable author.

Not illustrated. 1689 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter vii. christ rejects none who open to him. "if any man heap. my voice and open the door, I will come in to him." Rev. 3: 20. This expression, " If any man," extends the gracious offer of Christ, and brings in hope to every hearer. It is a general proclamation: "If any man;" as if Christ should say, I will have this offer of my grace go round to every particular person; if thou, or thou, or thou, the greatest, the vilest of sinners, of what quality or condition soever, old or young, profane or hypocritical, wilt hear my voice, and open to me, I will come in to your soul. And hereby all objections are obviated: as for example, I am the greatest of sinners, says one; I have been a self-deceiving hypocrite, says another; I have resisted grace too long, and fear the time of mercy is past, says a third. The ground of all these, and a thousand more objections, is taken away by the gracious extent of Christ's offer in the text; for who is he that can limit where Christ does not? This gives us a seventh profitable and comfortable doctrine: Jesus Christ will not refuse to come in to the soul of the vilest sinner, when once it is made willing to open to him. "If any man hear my voice and open the door, I will come in to him." It is not unworthiness, but unwillingness, that bars any man from Christ: thousands have missed of Christ by their unwillingness, but
