"Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me." (Rev. 3:20)

Holment Hunt, a famous English painter, in the late 1800's painted a masterpiece entitled, "Christ at the door." It is said that when Mr. Hunt had finished his painting, he displayed it for the critics. As it was unveiled, one of the critics replied with laughter, "You forgot to put a latch on the door." The great artist replied, "There is no latch on the door; the latch is on the inside."

When we examine a reproduction of Hunt's, "Christ at the door," we will see no latch on the door. Truly, the latch is on the inside. If Jesus comes into our lives, it will not be because He forced His way in, but because we opened the door by submission to Him.
