Jesus goes on to say: "Look! I am standing at the door knocking. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come into is house and take the evening meal with him and he with me." (Revelation 3:20) If the Laodicean Christians will only welcome Jesus into their congregation, he will help them to overcome their lukewarmness! -MATTHEW 18:20.
Jesus' mention of the evening meal doubtless reminds the Laodiceans of the times when he ate meals with his disciples. (John 12:1-8) Such occasion always brought spiritual blessings for those present. Likewise, there were notable occasions after Jesus' resurrection when he was present at a meal with his disciples, which occasions greatly strengthened them. (Luke 24:38-32; John 21:9-19) Hence, his promise to come into the Laodicean congregation and take the evening meal with them is a promise to bring them rich spiritual benefits if only they will receive him.
