Yesterday I heard Joe Gelacio give an excellent message on Matt 7:7-11. While listening, I thought of several things to help me remember the point of the passage. First, you can remember where the passage is by realizing that this is the first chapter 7 Seven Eleven verses in the NT (ask 7–711 versus call
