is the title of a famous picture by Holman Hunt, the artist. It portrays the Lord Jesus Christ, thorn-crowned, and
carrying a lantern in his left hand, knocking at a closed door.
It is said that the artist, after completing the picture,
showed it to some friends who praised the merit of the painting. One of them pointed out what he considered an omission on
the part of the artist.
"You have put no handle on the door," he said to
Holman Hunt, who replied immediately, "You forget - the handle is on the
inside."

Rev 3:20 (ISV): "Look! I am standing at the door and
knocking. If anyone listens to my voice and opens the door, I will come in to
him and eat with him, and he will eat with me."
"God will not force Himself upon us against our will.
If we want His love, we need to believe in Him. We need to make a definite,
positive act of commitment and surrender to the love of God. No one can do it
for us." - Billy Graham.
