Light of the world William Holman Hunt.
The Light of the World representing the figure of Jesus preparing to knock on an overgrown and long-unopened door, illustrating Revelation 3:20: “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if any person hear My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will eat with him, and he with Me”. The door in the painting has no handle, and can therefore be opened only from the inside, The door representing a shut mind, who will not accept Jesus.
This is written on the reverse side in a small font size.
Is Jesus Knocking at the door of your heart, have you heard Him knocking in the past?
Praying is like talking through the door, You know He is there somewhere, but the Door is Closed. And You do not get an answer. Have you given up trying?
Sin represents your dept to God and is the barrier, like the door it stops all conversation.
God wants to have a relationship with you. That why He send Jesus as a fellow human, somebody we could talk with and get to know.
Jesus only wants a relationship with you He wants to talk with you. He is not bothered about anything religious that you do. You can never pay the dept for sin, Jesus does not want you too. Because Jesus has already paid that dept on the cross when He sacrificed His Life for You.
He is standing at the door of your heart wanting for You to accept what He did for you.
Its up you to open that door for Him. Because the handle is on the inside and only you can do it.
Off course the door is not physical, its like the wind we don’t see it but we can feel it.
Jesus is Here right now as you are reading this. You Know He is behind the door.
I trust that you are feeling his presence with you.
You know He Loves You. And He wants you to repent.
We all need to repent, that is admit to our sins, be sorry for our sins, and realise that they have offended God.
Why would God cancel our dept if we are not sorry, not willing to repent.
Repentance involves turning from the way we have walked in life up to this time.
And now to follow the ways of Jesus Christ.
Do you want to follow the ways of Jesus Christ?
To let Him come in and take charge of your life?
If so then You must understand the importance of this step.
If I came to your home I would not let you in unless I invited you in
It’s the same with Jesus He is at the door of your Heart.
And He wants permission To come in. He is knocking on the Door.
So you can pray that He come in, that is give him permission and let Him live in you.
Echo this Prayer Out Loud if you can.
Lord Jesus
I open the door of my heart I say I am sorry for my sins
I choose to follow you I make you Lord of my Life
Fill me with your holy spirit. In Jesus Name Amen.
Congratulation if you have made the correct decision.
You now need to Read the New Testament, It will begin to make sense to you.
Get connected to another Christian Friend.
And do what is right because you are a new person in Christ.
The Holy Spirit will help you.
