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. (Revelation 3:20)

Daily reading: Nehemiah 2

Holman Hunt’s painting The Light of the World portrays Christ knocking at a door with no outside handle—He waits to be invited in. He holds a lamp, symbolizing Himself as the Light of the World, with Revelation 3:20 inscribed below. The original 1853 canvas hangs in Keble College, Oxford; a second is in Manchester Art Gallery, and the third, completed in 1904, toured the world and was seen by millions. Lesser known is a message Hunt wrote on one version: “Lord Jesus, I kept You waiting a long time”—a testimony of his faith. As Revelation 3:20 was written to believers, it challenges us to daily open our hearts to Christ’s presence. Are we walking with Him or simply acknowledging His nearness? As Colossians 2:6–7 urges, we must walk in Him, rooted and built up in faith. Don’t keep Him waiting—open the door and let the Light shine through your life today.
