Revelation 3:20 reads as follows: "Behold,\nI stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear My voice, and open the\ndoor, I will come in to him, and will dine with him, and he with Me." The Amplified says, \u201cBehold,\nI stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears and listens to and heeds\nMy voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with\nhim, and he will eat with Me.\u201d

What a wonderfully sad\nconcept of Jesus - standing at the door knocking, softly yet\npersistently, seeking entrance. In the book \u2018Christ And The Fine Arts\u2019,\nsomeone had written about a picture depicting Revelation 3:20\nthat was found on a stained-glass window in a famous cathedral: ``The\npicture of a door with no handle portrays the moment when human destiny\nhangs in the balance, when Divine Love patiently waits upon human\nreluctance. Here is the perpetual issue between heaven and earth -\nchoice. Here is the continual challenge of Christ to mankind. Here we\nsee the ever-present appeal of love to lethargy. It is a call to\ndecision in stained-glass.''
