On this verse

Draft selections — awaiting the founder’s edit.

Knock, as he that desires to enter into the house knocks at the door." We would be admitted to converse with God, would be taken into his love, and favour, and kingdom; sin has shut and barred the door against us; by prayer, we knock; Christ knocks at our door ( Rev. iii. Cant. v. 2 ); and allows us to knock at his, which is a favour we do not allow to common beggars.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

It will be asked, who is at the door? If you be able to say, a friend, and have the ticket of promise ready to produce in the hand of faith, doubt not of admission. If the door be not opened at the first knock, continue instant in prayer; it is an affront to a friend to knock at his door, and then go away; though he tarry, yet wait." 2.

Matthew Henry· Commentary on the Whole Bible, 1710puritan

Answering to this threefold representation is the triple assurance of success to our believing efforts. "But ah!" might some humble disciple say, "I cannot persuade myself that I have any interest with God." To meet this, our Lord repeats the triple assurance He had just given, but in such a form as to silence every such complaint.
