Details

- The symbolism is mainly in the colours. The room in which the rabbit stands is life on Earth (green floor like the grass, blue wall like the sky)

- The wall which the rabbit is turning towards is pale blue, that's Eternal life.

- The door is Christ. He has the same colour as the wall, because Eternal Life is, before all else, HIM.

- The handle is red (this is Jesus humanity. The access to the sky is possible through his sacrifice. The red represents the blood that was shed on the cross)

- The door is open, Jesus is always welcoming. There's no lock ; he is accessible to everyone without needing to study. The frame is white, like the holiness that covers us, without which we can't see God.

- On this drawing, the rabbit does not dare pushing the door, he stops at the frame. There's a branch of religion which is called « gnosis ». Salute is in knowledge (You « know » so you can be saved, otherwise you have no chance). This rabbit stops at knowledge and he can't go through the door because he's lacking faith and knowledge from the heart.

Questions

- If Jesus opens his door, do I let myself in ?

- If Jesus knocks on my door, will I let him in ?
