The stranger

After John 1:9-18

The stranger built a house

at the edge of town, not

the center, although

both land to improve

and houses to rent were

available at the center.

The small house was built

quickly at the edge of town,

its porch and door welcoming

the light shining through the windows

and the invitation inscribed by the door:

knock and enter.
