A man once accosted a preacher in London and said, "I once heard you preach in Paris, and you said something which I have never forgotten, and which has through God been the means of my conversion."
"What was that?" asked the preacher.
"It was that the latch was on our side of the door. I had always thought that God was a hard God, and that we must do something to propitiate Him. It was a new thought to me that Christ was waiting for me to open to Him."
If Christ is not within, the fault is ours.
