Christ Knocking at Laodicea

He stands at the door and knocks — but the congregation is outside, laughing, coffee in hand, oblivious. This theologically pointed oil painting renders the Laodicean warning of Revelation 3:20 in modern dress: a thriving, well-attended church bathed in pleasant afternoon light on one side, and on the other, a luminous Christ in white robes, hand raised at a closed door, the sky behind Him already darkening with prophetic urgency. The contrast is unmistakable and convicting. For SDA pastors preaching on the Laodicean condition, evangelists raising the final warning, or any believer sobered by the state of the remnant church in the last days, this image says what a thousand words cannot.
