80's Church Newsletter: Welcoming Christ's Presence with Open Hearts! 🎡✝️🌟

Greetings, 80's Church!

Michelle said this came on the radio on the way to work and said we have to do a bonous one this week:

In this edition of our newsletter, we delve into the iconic song "Who Can It Be Now" by Men at Work and connect it with the timeless message of Revelation 3:20. Together, let's explore the significance of welcoming Christ's presence into our lives and the transformative power it holds. Get ready to be inspired!

🎡 "Who Can It Be Now" - Men at Work 🎡

Verse 1:

Who can it be knocking at my door?

Go away, don't come 'round here no more

Can't you see that it's late at night?

I'm very tired, and I'm not feeling right

  1. Release Date: "Who Can It Be Now" was released as a single in 1981 and featured on Men at Work's debut album, "Business as Usual."

  2. Chart Success: The song became a massive hit, reaching number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the United States, as well as topping the charts in Australia.

  3. Signature Song: "Who Can It Be Now" is considered one of Men at Work's signature songs, known for its catchy saxophone riff and distinctive vocals by lead singer Colin Hay.

Devotional: Men at Work's lyrics capture the curiosity and uncertainty of someone knocking at the door. Similarly, in Revelation 3:20

Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with me."

Takeaway: Welcoming Christ's Presence with Open Hearts πŸ’’πŸ”“πŸŒˆ

1️⃣ Recognizing His Knock: Like the lyrics asking, "Who can it be knocking at my door?" Jesus stands at the door of our hearts, gently seeking entrance. Through the Holy Spirit's prompting, we sense His presence, calling us to open our hearts and invite Him in.

2️⃣ Responding with Openness: When Jesus knocks, it's an invitation to experience His presence and divine fellowship. Instead of pushing Him away, let us respond with openness, realizing that His love and grace are exactly what we need.

 3️⃣Overcoming Doubt and Fear: The lyrics express feelings of uncertainty and being watched. Similarly, we may struggle with doubts or fears about opening our hearts to Christ. But let us remember that His presence brings peace, assurance, and purpose.

4️⃣ Transformative Fellowship: When we open the door to Christ's presence, we enter into a deep fellowship with Him. He dines with us, symbolizing intimate communion and sharing of life. Through this fellowship, we experience transformation, as His love and truth renew us from within.
