Behold, I Stand at the Door and Knock - Icon Reproduction

This icon was inspired by the text of Revelation 3:20 as depicted in the familiar painting Christ at Heart's Door by Warner Sallman. Although the subject is unique for an icon, it is presented in conventional iconographic imagery. Christ's stance and shape denote movement, showing that his arrival is urgent. The door is without a handle. He will not force His way in, we must open and let Him in. It is also quite small, as are our hearts much of the time. This icon appeals to us to accept Jesus into our lives, as well as to undergo daily conversion.
