Jesus led me to a door

Jesus led me to a door. Then stepping to one side, he smiled at me. His eyes looked at me, then to the door, then back to me. I knew what we wanted. “What’s behind the door?” I asked.

His smile got bigger. “Things beyond your imagination,” he said with a sparkle in his eye. 

I approached the door with some hesitation, raised my hand, and knocked. I heard sounds, as if the door were being unlocked. The handle turned, and the door cracked open, just enough to reveal light coming from the other side. I took a step back. The door didn’t swing open all the way, but remained cracked. I took another step back and looked at Jesus.

“Well?” he said, nodding at the door. “Go on in.”

I looked at the door for a moment, then back at Jesus. “Show me what’s beyond the door and I’ll enter.” 

He smiled at me. “Enter, and I’ll show you what’s beyond the door.”
