These words are startling:
'Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks the door will be opened.'
What an extraordinary claim. It seems too good to be true. Jesus couldn't possibly mean that if I just ask God for something he will give it to me. Or, could he? Can we just ask for it?
Jesus goes on to offer proof for his surprising statement. We'll be considering Jesus' claim and his proof in this month's City Bible Forum.
A great talk to consider the goodness of God.
