“The mistakes of my life have been many, the sins of my heart have been more, and I can scarce see for weeping, but I’ll knock at the open door.”

How many this morning are honest enough to make this confession? We have all sinned, we have all made grievous mistakes, and as a result we are burdened with the consequences. But, do you know that Jesus still sits on the mercy seat? Do you know that his door is always open to welcome you? No matter where we have been, or what we have done, we serve a God of second chances; a God who is always ready to forgive; so even though your sins be like scarlet, he will make them white as snow. All you need to do is to confess your sins, knowing he is faithful and just and will forgive us from all unrighteousness. Therefore, do not be afraid or ashamed to knock, and when God answers that knock, open your heart and let him in. Praise the Lord!
