Ask, Seek, Knock
The second part of Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7:7 is an encouragement to "seek". The promise is that if we will seek we will find. Our struggle to believe this promise is summed up in the words of a 1987 U2 song: "I still haven't found what I'm looking for". The words that follow Matthew 7:7 help me. Jesus points us toward relationships of love and trust. First, Jesus reveals that God, our Father, desires to give good gifts to us. Jesus concludes the discussion by pointing out that we should treat others as we desire to be treated. What does that have to do with seeking?
