    Ask, Seek, Knock

    Ask and you will receive, seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. Does this mean Jesus is our genie in a bottle? Can I ask for anything I want and Jesus will just give it to me? There's much to understand about what Jesus said here.

As the Fourfold gospel commentary puts it, “Asking is a simple use of voice, seeking is a motion of the ...read more
