Hi resurrection, don't know if you have ever done a word study on gates and
doors in the bible, it is truly fascinating. I did start a bit of a blog at one point
on here, but only got so far.
The thing about doors and gates is that they are used to keep things out,
including Jesus. But he persists and stands at the door gently knocking.
He does this because he is the way, the only way. If he did not keep
knocking we would be lost because there is no other way.
But he never forces the issue, just waits for us to get it. Then when we open that
door our lives are changed for ever. I don't know so much about the heaven bit as
soon as we let him in. I think of it as more as the getting to know the groom
bit before the wedding and before moving into his house in eternity.
Ive had so many dreams about doors over the years I have lost count.
But in each one, I have always been on the inside of the house or room in
question. I think also there is an element that we can open doors to the wrong things.
So for example sin was crunching at the door of Cain.
