Here we are with track 4 from the bookshop gig. Its called “Light of the World” Light of the World. It was truly one of the worst gigs of our career, but you know what, the sound engineer wasn’t a christian, and he said he really enjoyed the banter and the music. Who knows what seeds were planted that night.
I was at Alpha tonight and I was talking about how we can be sure about our faith. One of the points in the talk is that we can trust Jesus because when he makes promises he keeps them. There was a great atmosphere tonight at Alpha, we were at the back of the restaurant and we were all round one table. The food was good and the fellowship was warm. And you know what, I felt the Holy Spirit was really speaking to all of us. It reminded me of the words of Jesus, ” Look I stand at the door and I’m knocking, if anyone hears me and opens the door, I’m ready to come in and share a meal with them” (Rev 3.20)

Holman Hunt the famous victorian painter used the title to paint a picture of the risen Christ standing knocking at the heart’s door of everyman. One thing I’m sure of we all have to make the choice to open the door.
If you look closely at the painting you’ll notice the handle is on the inside. Someone once said, Jesus Christ never forced his way into anyone’s life, he is the perfect gentleman, he waits to be invited.
If you were at Alpha tonight and you opened the door to invite Christ into your life, I’d love to hear from you.
