Jesus at the Door

“The Story Behind the Image of Jesus at the Door”

The image of Jesus standing at the door, waiting for us to invite him in, is a powerful and symbolic one. It represents the idea that even though God’s love and grace are always available to us, we have to choose to accept them and let them into our lives.

In the Bible, Jesus tells us in Revelation 3:20, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.” This verse captures the heart of the image, as Jesus patiently waits for us to hear his knock and open the door to him.

But why is there no door knob on the door in the picture? Some people might interpret this as Jesus not wanting to force his way into our lives, or respecting our free will to choose whether or not to let him in. Others might see it as a reminder that we have to actively seek Jesus and make the effort to open the door ourselves – it won’t just magically open on its own.

Regardless of how you interpret the image, the message remains the same: Jesus is always ready and willing to enter into our lives and bring us peace, hope, and salvation. We just have to decide to let him in.

So if you’re feeling lost, alone, or uncertain about your faith journey, remember that Jesus is knocking at the door of your heart. He wants to come in and share his love with you. Will you open the door and invite him in?”
