Cross-as-Mutual-Knocker Doctrine
The doctrine that co-suffering with Christ functions not merely as a reparative or restorative instrument but as a bidirectional structural mechanism of permanent mutual indwelling access: “Your suffering with Me will not only be like dew which rejuvenates you, but will serve as a continuous knocker, with which I may knock at the doors of your soul, and you at mine, in such a way that the doors may remain always opened, and you may freely enter into Me, and I into you” — the shared cross establishing two permanently open doors between the soul and Christ, making the mutual indwelling permanent rather than occasional.
