[This is the story of] Holman Hunt, the artist, who one day showed a friend his painting of Christ knocking at the door. Suddenly the friend exclaimed, "There is one thing wrong about your picture."

"What is it?" inquired the artist.

"The door on which Jesus knocks has no handle," replied his friend.

"Ah," responded Mr. Hunt, "that is not a mistake. You see, this is the door to the human heart. It can be opened only from the inside." Elder Kimball then continued: "And thus it is. Jesus may stand and knock, but each of us decides whether to open."
